Talking About Relatives
What are you doing this weekend?
My brother in law is having a small get together at his house and he invited me.
Is it a family thing or just friends?
A bit of both. Some cousins, aunts and uncles will be there, but also some friends from the neighborhood.
Is your great uncle Rick going to be there? He is really funny.
Yeah he is going to be there with his step-son and his ex-wife.
You mean your sister?
No, Rick is actually my great uncle, so he is my grandmother’s brother.
You lost me.
I’ll explain later, let’s go.
