I have tons of actual 2nd cousins. From a small town and giant family.

It always seemed weird calling my first cousins once removed “2nd” cousins when my actual 2nd cousins are so much further relation. My first cousins were more sibling than cousin so their kids call me uncle and they were as good as niece and nephew until my only brother started pumping out crotch fruit of his own. That knocked everyone down a notch lol.
