Ok look white people from small families. I, a white man from a large southern family, am here to help you understand.
Your parent's cousin has two potential titles depending on their age. If they're older than you, they are your aunt/uncle. If they are your age or younger, they are your cousin.

In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Leaving your newborn baby with strangers is a surreal out of body experience, you trust the nurses like family in the deepest most primal sense. Hell yeah you are aunties. Understatement really.

Yeah, grandma was one of seven, mom was one of seven… There’s a lot of us!

As the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter, yeah, I’m a bit older than the other extended cousins of my generation.

Big families have big age spreads. It’s totally normal.

I call my mom’s cousin Aunt. Hell I call my own cousins, twenty years older than me, Aunts.

Mar Awa III, patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, also born in Chicago, gave Pope Leo a Cubs jersey.

Mar Awa III, in red cassock, smiles as he gives the jersey to Leo, who looks as though he's been given a bomb to hold

Stunning!

I’ve alas had both. Shingles is way more painful, Bells Palsy is hella awkward. Both suck in their own ways.

Ugh, serotonin syndrome is the worst. I’ve only had it very mildly, but yuck.

I think I’ve actually taken this one too, as part of a larger set of tests. I apologized to the tester in advance before all the mental math sections.

To feel at once sheer awe, gratitude to the crew flying through this monster with no pay, and overwhelming concern for the people of Jamaica.

I’m highly educated, I’ve passed calculus, I just suck at mental math. Nothing to do with dementia, it’s just me.

Best place to run on earth if you ask me! (We probably took the same class!)

Okay, but my dyscalcic ass is going to die on the subtract from 60 nonsense. It was nice knowing you all!

(Once took a “how to run” class in Prospect Park, best time of my life…)

Have you ever tried run-walking? Like run for a minute, walk for 30 seconds? A little walking before you *have* to walk can be a game changer. (Over time add running, subtract walking.)

Americans don’t have these fancy kitchen items conveniently available via this link to American store Williams Sonoma. Um, what?

I could be wrong, but I don’t remember mini-fridges being that tiny in the 1990s. That Pepsi fridge looks uncanny. (Pun intended?)

I’m talking about the ones were the handle is the same color as the body, I think they are too modern.

I don’t remember that style of McDonalds Boo-Buckets in the 90s. The plastic was different and it didn’t have the crossbar thingy on top.
