I have some second cousins that I became close to while living in Provo. Here is a discussion reported to me by their mother around the time I got married:
8-year-old second cousin: Mom, if Dani has a baby, will that make me an uncle?
His mom: (some sort of response, essentially conveying the message of "no.")
5-year-old second cousin: MOM, IF DANI HAS A BABY, WILL THAT MAKE ME A FATHER??
Hopefully, at that point, his mom gave him a basic explanation of how family relationships work. Maybe not to the level of "second cousins once removed," but you know. Some level.
hAhahahahahaha father. That's great.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha Dani, that is hilarious. (The comment I initially typed was more of a dirty joke, but I didn't want to offend your readership's delicate sensibilities.)

Thanks for being an amazing person and friend. I remembered when you extended your hospitality to me last summer how much I like you, and your husband, and I will certainly miss your blog, which usually makes me LOL, literally, like not even in the sense of LOL but just staring at the computer screen with a blank face, but really LOLing. Bye bye!
maybe you could tell them they can be the honorary aunt and uncle. It's cute they're so attached to you.
