Anyway, I have a weird and random question. If your mother had a sister, that would make her the kid's aunt. Then if the aunt married, that would be the uncle. Would the uncle's parents be related to the kid? I don't even know why I'm asking this...
O.K. but who's the kid? The uncle's parents (and any possible prior kids) that came with the marriage have no blood relation to "The Kid." (I like that moniker; very gangsta in a 50's kind of way). But the aunt 's and new uncle's new kids between them WILL have blood ties to The Kid. But, even though there is no blood relation going on between The Kid and the new uncle, there is marriage relation (because of The Kid's mother's sister) which is, indeed, relative. As in, those are The Kid's family now, so no kissing allowed, 9if the new uncle brought kids into the family from a previous marriage) or that's what society insists, anyway. Don't tell Woody Allen; I think he still wants to hold onto Soon Yi.

Unless you are an Italian who pretends to be French and go to the greatest length to appear so in front of as many people as possible. I know someone like that, not in my family directly, but in my so-called "cousin" (named because they call my dad "Uncle Danny" ) Zeak's family (Andrew Maia).

*walks in, Cafe deserted, steals a muffin and a cup of much needed tea, and leaves*

Two hours later:

*returns stealthily, puts money on counter.While getting out, turns back, whips out sword, and cuts a huge 'Z' on the door, only inverted 90 degrees*

*leaves*

As wonderful as free food is, there's something even more marvellous about getting free food when it's not free.

And I'm not a kleptomaniac, by the way.

*Obnavat lowers his huge head, which is bigger than both Sane and TB. He glowers then with the slightest breath burns it in TB's hand. Leroy acts as the bouncer then bounces TB's butt out of there*

See, the Cafe is where anybody can sit and have a cuppa without being arrested, warrant (fake or not) or not.

*Takes a deep breath. Let's loose a SHREIK. Fianlly runs out of breath and stops, looking calmer.*

I needed that. And now I need tea, and chocolate, and some whiskey would be good too... @_<
