Cousins

Your name is Christmas Snow?

One of my uncles (married my mom's sister) is my third cousin once removed. So, his and my aunt's children are my first cousins AND my fourth cousins

My eldest paternal first-cousin is younger than my youngest child. I also have half-cousins, half-cousins once removed, a step-cousin and two step-cousins once removed. My maternal grandparents are called Mormor and Morfar, but to my children they're Oldemor and Oldefar, and my mother is referred to as their Mormor. My dad, being Aussie rather than Danish, prefers to be called Poppy (since he has a fireworks licence and likes to go out shooting).

Your name is Christmas Snow?

LOL, no. My first name was originally Krystal, which is awesome, but it got shortened to Krissy, which I hate. And now it's my legal name. If I ever get around to actually changing my name due to getting married...four years ago...I might go ahead and get my first name changed as well.

I never saw this before or sense, but my father did business with an uncle/nephew, in which the uncle was about 10 years younger than the uncle. The uncle was the baby of the family, while the nephew was the son of the oldest child. Doing the math, it is probably not that uncommon, but it was still weird.

I was an only child and was raised away from extended family by several hundred miles, (us in Tennessee, them in Iowa). Once for some reason, I was with my girl cousin who was about my age and someone asked about the old lady and I said "That is MY grandmother." My cousin corrected me "OUR grandmother." Oops on me, I forgot.

All of my first cousins twice removed on my mom's side are my age. My great aunt and great uncles all had kids in their 20s my grandmother waited until she was in her 40s.

My mom was young enough to be the daughter of her first cousins, was the same age as her first cousins once removed.

Most of my family on that side has evolved from the aristocratic blue bloods that we were into middle class people living in the suburbs.

My branch of the family is the black sheep.

Not because we are a bunch of good for nothing criminals but because my mom like my grandmother lived life on her own damn terms and so do I .
