About an hour after I took the first picture of my brother and cousin, they were still in the same position on the couch, busy playing video games in the living room, where all the other men and boys were. Whether or not this was because they were too young for more responsibility, it did serve to carry on the continuum of kinship, as talked about by Kenneth Guest. The boys were playing the role of generations of men before them, sitting in the living room while the women were in the kitchen.
