Is there ever a good way to tell a family member that they're about to do something incredibly, unbearably stupid?
A cousin of mine is getting married tomorrow. Found out today. She's 19, average intelligence, and naive. He's 26, lives in his mom's basement, claims to not work because he's inheriting a large sum of money as soon as his grandmother dies, and insists that people address him as "Skeeve". My cousin finds him edgy and interesting.
I find myself wanting to call her up and give advice on this but can't find a way to do so without coming off as a royal prick. I figure I've just got to let it slide.
I'll give a call to my kid brother, though, and see if he wants to go in with me on a pool for when that sh[gold][/gold]it ends up on a daytime talk show. I'm figuring fourteen months, and that it ends in abuse, though I can't say who'll start beating who.
