Family Relationship


Jander - Hello teacher, what's up?
Teacher - Nothing special Jander. What are you doing here?
Jander - I'm looking for some book with regard to family relationship.
Teacher - Which relationship?
Jander - For instance , How do you say the daughter of my aunt?
Teacher - It's cousin.
Jander - That's interesting. What about her son?
Teacher - You say cousin for both of them.
Jander - Dope! Well , my sister Danielle doesn't have any son . What if she had one...   how should I call him?
Teacher - Call him by his name.
Jander - lol! But I don't  know his name yet ...I mean ...
Teacher - I know what you mean, I was kidding! Your sister's son will be  your nephew.
Jander - Nephew. Ok. What if she is a girl?
Teacher - If he she is a girl She wouldn't be her son but her daughter
Jander - You are funny teacher! I am annoying you , aren't I ?
Teacher - No way Jander! It's a pleasure to help you. If your sister had a daughter , she would be your niece.
Jander - So, it's nephew for boys and niece for girls.
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Jander- What?
Teacher - I said that you are right!

Yuri  X Teacher

Yuri- Hello Teacher! How've you been?
Teacher - I've been ok . What's up? What can I do for you ?
Yuri - Don't take me wrong teacher...but I'm a little concerned about that Relationship homework you asked me to do.
Teacher - Oh , really? What's the matter?
Yuri - May I call my sister's husband by uncle?
Teacher - No, you can't. Your uncle is your mother's or your father's brother. Your sister's husband is your brother-in-law.
Yuri  - Really? If I had a brother , would his wife be my sister-in-law?
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Yuri  - How nice! Let me see if I understood the whole picture. My girlfriend's mother is my mother-in-law.
Teacher - I'd say that she would be your mother-in-law , if you were married to her daughter.
Yuri - But may I call her like that?
Teacher - It's up to you. You can call her father like father-in-law...
Yuri - Oh my gosh! You are opening my mind. Now I can understand many things...my girlfriend's   sister once said that I was her brother in law  because I was dating her sister...now I know she is sister-in law  too. That's awesome! ...I think I'm their parents' son-in-law...
Teacher - You are going to blow the roof of the mother with this homework.
Yuri  - I will if you keep helping me. May I take advantage of this call ?
Teacher - Of course! That's what teachers are for!
Yuri- Thanks a lot teacher! Well, could you please explain me the difference between a step-brother and half-brother? I'm getting bored to death trying to figure it out.
Teacher - half brothers have one biological parent in common, by the other hand , step brother is only related through marriage. like if your dad remarries,( I hope it never happens ) his new wife's kids would be your step brothers and step sisters.
Yuri - Just for you to  know teacher, my dad loves my mom too much and we will be together for good! I think I understood ...let me see ...If Bruna my youngest sister were just my father's daughter , she would be my half-sister, wouldn't she?
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Yuri - Come to think of it, if my father marries again his new wife's children would be my step-siblings, alright?
Teacher - Yeah! but as you told me before , this will never happen...
Yuri- I don't wanna get any "step - something" in my life...I'm happy with the family I have...
Teacher - I agree! You have a big and happy family!
Yuri - Have you played slither.io lately?
Teacher - I don't have much time for these things Yuri.
Yuri - Is this your excuse for never defeat me? I don't have much time either.
Teacher - Ok Yuri! Be prepared to be defeated on next class. Bye!

Talita X Teacher

Talita- Good Evening Teacher! Please come in! Thanks for answering my call.

Teacher - Don't mention it. Why did you call me here today? Aren't we gonna have class tomorrow?

Talita - Yeah...We will certainly  have class tomorrow but I need some extra explanations about the different kinds of relationships. I'm trying myself to do it but ...you know, sometimes I forget some basic stuffs.

Teacher - Alright. That's normal. Let's go straight to the source.

Talita - My mother's mother is my grand-mother , Aren't  I right?

Teacher - Ask your grand-father...

Talita - I got it! What about my grand-mother's mom?

Teacher - Great question! Great answer ! Your grand-mother's mom had a great life for living so much time ...and for this reason she will be forever your great-grandmother.

Talita - And my grand-father's dad is , without no doubt, my great-grandfather...That's the ticket!

Teacher - Hey you! This expression belongs to me!

Talita - I watched a gangster movie where the famous hollywood actor Al Pacino was called "The God -father" ...What does God -father means?

Teacher - I watched this flick too, it was awesome! Al Pacino is one of the most perfect actor of the world. He was called " The God-father" because he was chosen to be somebody's God- Father. It's a religious term.

Talita- Do you have a God-father , teacher?

Teacher - If I have one I don't know him yet...but I'm sure I have a God who lives in the Heaven and He is my spiritual father.

Talita  - If your mother remarries  , how would you call her new husband?

Teacher - Certainly I wouldn't never call him " Daddy".

Talita- You know what I mean teacher, don't be silly!

Teacher - I thought you understood the structure with regard to "step"

Talita- Step-something again?

Teacher - Yeah! Step-father

Talita - Oh my gosh! Step- mother, step-sister,step - brother ...stop! I can't take it anymore!

Teacher - As far as I'm concerned you have material enough for your homework.

Talita - Is it over?

Teacher - Actually there are more relationships we didn't mention but I think you already know them.

Talita - Like what?

Teacher - You better finish your homework.

Talita- Just more one question teacher.

Teacher - Go ahead!
