^^ Lol. Seriously dude? Do you call your mother's cosuin as cousin ?

Its like a tree. Branches of same axis are treated likewise. For example. Any member from your generation in your whole family related directly or indirectly is your brother/sister/cousin and the like, however they will be an elderly (so to speak) for your kids. Your kids don't bear similar relation to *your* cousin and brothers. They are elderly thus referred to as uncle for your kids.

Uncle/Aunt spans across all the gene. For example no matter how many cousin you have they will all be your kids uncle/aunt.

Second cousin - Example. You and the children of your parents cousin.

Its not like you'll call your *mom's cousin* as your second cousin. He/She will be your Uncle / Aunt.

I hope you get it. Its a disadvantage of English language, it labels every other relation as Uncle/Aunt thus the confusion unlike in other languages.
