cousin eddie

Dedicated to the Noonans.
This post was taken off because he didn't get any love (comments). After a request, he is back.
Here is our version of "cousin eddie," my bro-in-law Carter. 
He randomly showed up one night, just before we went to bed. Though startled at first sight, I was relieved when I realized who it was.
A few reasons why our version of "cousin eddie" is better than the National Lampoon's Vacation "cousin eddie."
-Instead of inviting himself to live with us, we invited him when he returned from his mish.
-His minivan in the driveway doesn't take up as much space as a motorhome.
-He is amazing with our kids. They absolutely love him!
-He once gifted Mitch with a beautiful picture of his favorite president-Abraham Lincoln.
-He actually does have a high IQ. In fact, he scored in the 98th percentile on the LSAT and has applications in at the best law schools in the nation.
-He is entertaining, lovable, kind, and currently single.

He doesn't sound like he's nearly as funny (for my entertainment any way) as the real Cousin Eddie. But, I'll like him anyway.

Will he empty anything into the gutter wearing only his bathrobe, undies, and warm winter hat? Maybe you could make that suggestion to him.
