What are we, rednecks?

If they get divorced are they still cousins? LOl just kidding. I agree with your other response, don't put too much into this kind of crush. By this time next year (possibly next month) they probably won't even be interested in hanging around together. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Heck Momma when yir rockin on the porch cradling yir three eyed four legged dungaree wearing grandchildren yir'll look back on this day and be proud that you were there when it all kicked off. Mind yir head as crazy Billy, the intelligent one, is gonna fix that blocked gutter above yir head with his shotgun......

When did you move to the mountains. D?

hi dawnald oh wow that would be a bit of a close inbreeding would it not, but like most little children I do imagine when they reach the 'age to marry,they will both be taken by other people completely. Look at at my hubby and myself, he came from Washington state, I came from South Dakota , and we married in Tempe Arizona and when the children were little we moved here to California. in my own family tree on my mothers side first cousins my great grandparents were married, and their brother and his sister were also married on the same day. but their children were all intelligent, So sometimes first cousins can marry and no harm done. what always slayed me was she was only 15 and he was twenty when they married and had seven children. my gr gr grandparents had 13 children and she looked so sour in a photograph I got of her, I had to think those 13 were too much for her, she had a child every year for 13 years. wow.

Sounds like u have your hands full. I hope u are not rednecks. That is one of my least favorite words.

This is so funny. And just so wrong! Even making a comment, feels so wrong.

So, how does this work out then, are you and Richard related? Somehow? I am confused. They would be even more confused. I actually had a cousin try to hook me up to her older brother at a family reunion. I replied to her little comment "He LIKES you", "Of course he likes me, I am his cousin." I am sure they will outgrow this. Just exploring the ideas.

I would consider it as a child's play. I would not be preoccupied about that. Children can be sweet. I have started a discussion on a similar theme though a bit different. I consider that relationships between cousins depends on social acceptance. Certain cultures accept it as normal while in others they do shun them.In my country I learned that cousins did marry cousins, though it is not much practised nowadays. People married cousins for quite a number of reasons. One of them to maintain family wealth in the same family. Other reasons were lack of social interaction. I think people can mix more easily nowadays, The internet is serving as a dating agency as well and you can meet several people from different countries, traditions, religions and beliefs. The only objection that I might find to cousins getting marries is in case they ll have problems when having children. I don't find it morally objectionable at all. It is not an incest in my opinion.However if I were you I would not worry too much, kids do play like that.

I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point - they will probably hate each other in a few years... Besides, they could always move down south to a state where it is legal for first cousins to marry... Honestly, I really wouldn't put kiddy crushes in the same league as even teen crushes...

LOL i'm sure they'll forget about it later. kids usually do.

Ya might be a redneck if... Try this one on for size, my uncle almost married my grandmother I also have a distant cousin whose parents are related... Doesn't phase me one bit. We told our friends (hubby and I) that we were related just to spook them! ah but they're just kids, being cute is all, you know they'll grow out of it!

Hi dawn, Inbreeding? can you imagine? all these sets of twins? lol!. Tamara

Make sure you let them know, if you ignore this attraction thinking it's just kid stuff it could bite you in the butt later on. I remember my Uncle always said he'd wait to marry me as soon as I was grown, I never really forgave him whe he got married to someone else. Even after it was explained to me why I couldn't marry him.

Hi Dawn - how about this one - I am my father's niece's daughter, and my paternal grandfather married his cousin. :) Oh! It gets really messy - you dont really know whom to call what. I am an aunt to a person who is older than me. :)

Kids don't know. I think it was cute . They hit it off so they thought about marriage! It is all harmless.

"Out of the mouths of babes..." How old are these kids, and what are they doing swinging already?

What little minds don't come up with! Its amazingly cute...I am sure however by the time they grow up they won't be thinking anything like that and will just enjoy each other's company...hopefully!

Cute! Kind of like some little girls wanting to marry their fathers when they grow up.

They are so cute!
