I forgot (ok, I didn't forget, but I hadn't thought about it in a while) how whip-smart and funny my cousins are. And there are nine of them, so that's a lot of smart funny people to have around.
Also, I have a first cousin, once removed who has had 16 kidney stones. It's a fact!
I recommend reading up on cousins and double cousins and half cousins, because the whole cousin thing can get pretty twisted. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin?wasRedirected=true
