Tuesday - A Tale of Two Dakotas
Jan. 23rd, 2007 04:11 pmToday on my drive into work, I was thinking about the two Dakotas. I'm not talking about the states in the northern part of the United States, North Dakota and South Dakota. I am talking about the sons of my cousin, Allen Jones,* born 3 months apart to different mothers, and both named Dakota. Sometimes these things just happen when kids are born to redneck parents.
First, let me start off by defending my cousin and his kind. Rednecks get a lot of ridicule and some people think that the world would be better off if they didn't exist. I, however, will proudly stand up and say, "Thank God for Rednecks!" The world is a more entertaining place with them in it, as this story will illustrate. I am also thankful because there is no greater blessing a storyteller can have than be born into a family full of rednecks.
( Definition of Redneck Twins - Two babies with the same father who are born to two different mothers only weeks apart. )
*Not his real name. The Dakotas, however, are/were really named Dakota. The story wouldn't work if I called them something else.
