Cousins are Fun

Cousins: "a child of one's uncle or aunt."

Cousins have an automatic love for each other. It almost seems they have known one another somewhere before their birth. Cousins have similar likes and dislikes. I have watched the reunion of cousins on many occasions and noted their happiness in each other's company. Often I have heard the words: "Is (naming a boy or girl cousin) coming?. I can hear them saying, "I don't want to be there unless they are coming too." As a child, I lived in the country; while washing dishes, I could see the street below our home. Aunts, uncles, and cousins lived on that street. We played hide and seek and did “willies” on the frozen lake. It is a joy to have cousins.
