This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Heh, second cousin is far enough.

Second cousin means cousin second order (grandchild of a sibling of one of your grandparents), right?

A parent's first cousin. Your first cousin's child would be a first cousin once removed.

What really confuses me is your second cousins parent is also called your first cousin once removed.

Second cousin's parent is great aunt/uncle

No, your great aunt/uncle is your second cousin's grandparent.

Second cousin is your parent's cousin's child.

Your parent's cousin's parent is your parent's aunt/uncle, which is your great aunt/uncle.

You're parent's cousin is your first cousin once removed.
