The Furthest Cousin
Start with your mum. Then her sister. Then that sister's kid. Then that kid's kid. Then the one you met once at a funeral in 2011 whose name you'd have to check. Somewhere along that line the word family stops being true and becomes a technicality.
Who's the furthest-out relative you'd still get in the car for?
Then ask
- Who shares your blood and would walk past you in a supermarket?
- Does marrying in count more than being born in?
- Is there anyone not related to you at all who's further in than any of them?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
