really??? are there actually people out there that wouldn't know the answers to these questions?!?!

I got 3/10. I had no idea about all the in-law or stepchildren stuff.

And I hope people know I'm kidding. *lol*

lol greggie

I got 9/10. I thought I had the wrong choice so I changed it, but it was right. It was about the stepchildren's mom. I read it wrong.

I thought this was going to be this person is your "step-sixteenth cousin once removed" thing...these were easy.

9/10...missed the one about my aunt's husband.

And I swear I never called "uncle" any of my aunts' husbands.

That was easy.

eveday, that one kind of made me second guess too. While I don't have any aunts by blood that are married I do have uncles by blood that are. I called their wives "aunt", but I didn't know if legally (or w/e this quiz is gaged by) they are uncles.

Easy, but it brought me back to my cultural anthropology class where we had to learn family naming systems by culture/tribe. I can still hear my professor droning on "in this culture, your mother's brother is...your father. Your sister's cousin is your aunt" on and on in his Liberian accent. It was torture! Also to note that this quiz was also based on some cultures and not others.

10/10!
I call all of my aunts' husbands "and" and also my uncles' wives I know as "aunts." My husband's brother's and sister's children call me aunt.
I thought this was pretty standard, but judging from the comments, I guess not.

And--when did we start getting points for quizzes? awesome! I can't resist a quiz.

That's what I thought too, Kikidawn...if they were (or not) legally considered "uncles". So I chose "no relation" based on my own experience, I guess I'm not that close to my aunts anyway.

oops
"uncle" not "and"
though that would be a different custom

This was silly.

My husband's brothers kids call me "aunt," too. I'd never heard otherwise until this thread.

Thanks, Greggie.

My husband is Mexican and I get really confused sometimes because his cousin's kids call him uncle and our son is uncle to her grandkids...it's a culture thing I think. In my extended family they do the second-cousin/third-cousin thing, which I think is just as confusing.

I thought it was going to be those tough ones, I agree with facin8me, Easy.
