There was a kid in my class who found out that one of his classmates was his second cousin by doing a family tree project...

or eliminate all confusion and call everyone your cousin even if they aren't blood-related.

Bob doesnt know who they are.. OR DOES HE?!?

[pengy]

To hard... we just call everyone one generation above, Uncle/Aunt, two generations above, Grandparents. Every generation below is just nieces and nephews lol

I tried to explain this to a coworker once. He had been talking about his family and was unsure how to label a distant cousin. When I got to the term "once removed", he said "No, that 'removed' stuff is just for when somebody divorces out of the family" I gave up after that.

[ASLTheatre]

I always thought “once removed” was about a divorce happening somewhere.
