That's not all."If my first cousin once removed has a son, he would be my first cousin twice removed," Mr. Silberman continued."Now, my first cousin's son, and my son are second cousins. I hope that clears things up."

That why in my family they are just a cousin once it gets past first cousins. Mmm mom has 40 in her generation and it’s too complicated to keep up with who belongs to who

why should a teacher explain this lmao shouldn't a parent explain this basic information? Stop expecting teachers to explain everyfucking thing lol jfc
