| I'm related to Benjamin Franklin! You see, Ezra Cornell (My great great great... uncle) was the first cousin, five times removed of Benjamin Franklin on his maternal grandmother's side.
I'M SPECIAL!
Oh, and he was born in Westchester county(: | |

| Ask your parents who you're related to (They'll normally just say something about "back in the olden days...") and then search it up on wikipedia. I knew I was related to Ezra Cornell, so I searched him up and on Wikipedia there was an article saying that he was related to Ben Franklin. | |

| My parents are always just like, "Oh, well your dad's family used to own Down Town Fort Worth, but they lost it because they didn't pay taxes. Oh! But your father was adopted, so you aren't related to them." It makes me pretty angry. | |

| Oh wow, that's pretty awesome! I think I've got a few past prime ministers of Korea on my dad's side but nothing else, I think. I'll have to ask my parents more about it sometime in the future. xD |
