Family, by the numbers

A friend commented the other day that I came from a small family. Well, I didn't argue but I certainly don't consider that to be true. Here's the count:

1 husband

2 parents

2 parents-in-law

2 daughters

1 son-in-law

3 grandchildren

1 sister

5 brothers-in-law

4 sisters-in-law

8 nephews

3 nieces

3 aunts

3 uncles

13 cousins

That's 49 family members that I see and/or correspond with, most quite often.

Then there are spouses, children, and grandchildren of my cousins. And many of them have spouses and children. And on it goes.

So, I have a small family?

I don't think so.
