Probably someone who is living under their roof and eating from their table.  

Otherwise, yeah !     I can marry a one-legged penguin if I'm paying the rent and buying its food.

I doubt you will ever get to go to the zoo again......

Good!  👍

But the penguin house is a nice cool fishy smelling place to go to on a hot summer day.

Funny you picked a penguin, try googling a deviant penguin and see what pops up.  I did  just to see where you were going with that.

I love the zoo in St. Louis, go there at least one time a year.  Much better since I came of age.

I sold them the utility pipe That ran under the railroad for the new penguin house back a few years ago whenever that was.  Sold some utility pipe to the park at Hershey pa way back too.

Well my wife married me even though her parents hated me.

Ah me and my Uncle use to care what parents said.

Actually my Grandparents and Mom were Racist. 
 

I could have married into money but her ex said it wasn’t worth it.

I’ve been married to a couple good women. Actually done some things with this wife that I never would with the first.

My dad is dead, My Uncle Toby is out family Patriarch, He is always  calm and willing to listen, very confident and in control of himself. He has no want to control others, is always fair, retired but still a hard worker, always humble, never complains. Loves his family and friends. Kind to all. Be like Toby!

That's only a bad thing if they had no reason to be.  My parents and grandparents were always initially skeptical of black people until they spent some time around them and got to know them well.....but in all honesty there was a solid reason for them to be that way.  Had nothing to do with skin color, it had to do with attitude, work ethic, and honoring words.   You can deny it if you want, but the old saw about "there goes the neighborhood" didn't happen for no good reason whatsoever.  

Where I grew up black people had the same opportunities as everyone else, including the Vietnamese people.  The Vietnamese people didn't blow it, they were actually better at work ethic, attitude, and keeping their word than most white folks were.  If they told you something you could 100% take it to the bank, they never brought property values down, and they were always improving even when surrounding white folks were just keeping the reasonable constant.  Everyone I knew respected them highly.

I'm VERY sorry to say that it just didn't go like that very often with black people, for whatever reason.... But I was there, I saw and heard it all, and I refuse to blame or guilt the white folks or the Vietnamese for that.  To be nice, and PC, I'll say that It was just a culture thing... I guess.    Nobody crapped on 96% of them, that 96% crapped on themselves....just like 5-8% of the white people did.  

This was in a population of 21,000

My Grandparents were overtly racists. My parents never confirmed that bias. 6 years in the USMC confirmed that racial bias is BS. We all want peace, love, and tranquillity in our lives. Easier if you don’t get your knickers in a twist from hyped 24/7 news.

In USMC only one color Green.

My former In-laws came to visit us up North they was scared to death. Said they didn’t know how we could allow the Blacks to be on the streets at night. And they was full blood Native Americans.

My mom had a Black guy touch her at work and she had a fit but Homosexuals were ok.

 I had a Black Woman bleach her hair blond for me. I told her if I wanted a White Woman I would find White Woman. Got a Black Woman with blond hair now takes care of me but she is nice. Told her one time I need to just move her in. She says what would your wife say? Heck I don’t care.
 

My In-laws didn’t want me around my present wife because of my Cajun blood but they thought her first husband which was Iranian was just it because he has money.
