North Carolina:

South Carolina is your younger sister who wears flip flops all the time and has a monogrammed window sticker on the back of her Tahoe. You’re not 100% sure how she affords the payments on that thing, but you’ve learned to let her make her own decisions. You can’t tell that woman nuthin’. She’s usually as sweet as her tea, though.

Tennessee is your cousin T-Bone. You’ve heard he’s well educated and even has a promising music career, but let’s face it: you mostly see his trashy side. He’s a good time, though!

Virginia is your three uncles who have a business together even though they kinda hate each other. One wears seersucker blazers and has strong opinions about ham. One drives a Range Rover and can’t stay off his phone. One you’ve never seen in a clean shirt and he’s constantly muttering to himself about Q-Anon.

Georgia is like your second cousin or first cousin once removed or something. You can never remember how that stuff works, so you always have to ask your fancy Virginia uncle to remind you. Georgia’s fun and smart, but you only see him at Christmas and you’ve seen him get mean when he drinks too much of that brown liquor that T-Bone brings.

Rhode Island :

Connecticut: Your Ivy league lawyer brother who recently lost a lot of clients by over charging them and now is dealing blackjack at the casino. He always spends four weeks in our home every summer, and in a few weeks is very annoying.

Massachusetts: Your other Ivy league lawyer brother who came into a windfall by gaining new clients from you know who. Loves playing blackjack at the casino. He spends the other four weeks in our home every summer and feel right at home and treats it as their own.

New York: Our cousins from over the pond (Long Island Sound). Very upscale, but does not like our brothers one bit when they come and stay in our house in the summer. Problem is there is always one of our brothers at our home when New York comes to stay.
