  Same here. I'm getting flummoxed. I would play with some cousin's kid without knowing who he/she is.

  did the baby crap or piss on you, and did the parents make you change the diapers of the wriggling poop-machine?

  if they did, multiply that by every moment of the day.. for about a couple of years.. and add to that, screaming and illnesses to look after, and feeding, and all that..

  then multiply by four..

  and remember this caveat: i still reserve the right to laugh hysterically at you

  In my case, I am the 'older cousin who haben get married'. 

  So, what shall the 'older cousin' do?

  Escape to Australia, and never return during CNY!

  You  never know... the one who laughs last laughs best!    Polar Bears are growing extinct, so we, in Club 30, encourage you to Jia1 You2!! 

   

  And Fatum, if baby ever pisses on you, do the American thang and sue the pants (or diapers) off the diaper company for not producing diapers that rise up to the challenge!

  Look straight at your parents and blame them for your short genes. That'll shut them right up.

  LOL. They only commented on how OLD I looked ( cuz i've been staying up late mugging and gaming). And how every year I turn up in costumes, ( this year I wore Yukata Kimono).

  And then my cousin asked this year if I had a BF not, which I promptly replied, NO.

  And then my mom and aunties started bombarding her about her lack of a BF.

  WAHAHAHAa...

  i don't think it was

  in a world where overpopulation is threatening to destroy it totally, we should stop listening to the asswipes in power...

  i look at the world now and i would not want to put any more children on this planet unless we can look them in the eye and tell them that we are giving them a better world to live in..
