Ex-Cousin

Dad told us last night that Mum met a friend who knows my Mum’s ex-cousin.

Blur faces all around as we try to figure how does one become an ex-cousin.

Seeing our blank stares, he laughed and went on to explain that one of Mum’s uncle adopted a boy who changed his name to Kang. But when the uncle passed away, he changed his name back to Teoh.

So jadi, that’s how you get an ex-cousin. So that makes him my ex-uncle? Cool.
