One Sixteenth

Family lore is rich in historicity —
Facts and fictional….

According to my uncle, validated by his sister, my wee Scorpio mum, which makes the data suspect, his and her grandmother’s husband was a blue-eyed Mexican.

“He always claimed he was Castilian.”

So that makes me one sixteenth Mexican, and if that’s true, then I do have rhythm, and fashion sense.

“So if I wore a dark suit with a deep purple silk shirt and white tie, I could get away with it? I’d look sharp?”

“No!”

“Dance?”

“Kramer? Yeah, probably not a good idea.”

While family lore suggests striation and variance within the family bloodline, evidence so far does not bare this — at all.

Blue and brown blood has long since been thinned away by a preponderance of Northern European white wash.

True stories. I believe everything my family tells me.
