Lari - Hello teacher, what's up?
Teacher - Nothing special Lari. What are you doing here?
Lari - I'm looking for some book with regard to family relationship.
Teacher - Which relationship?
Lari - For instance , How do you say the daughter of my aunt?
Teacher - it's cousin.
Lari - That's interesting. What about her son?
Teacher - You say cousin for both of them.
Lari - dope! Well , my sister Ellen who lives in the USA has a son , so how should I call him?
Teacher - Call him by his name.
Lari - lol! I know his name ...I mean ...
Teacher - I know what you mean, I was kidding! Your sister's son is your nephew.
Lari - Nephew. Ok. What if he were a girl?
Teacher - If he were a girl he wouldn't be "he" but "she.
Lari - you are funny teacher! I am annoying you , aren't I ?
Teacher - No way Lari! It's a pleasure to help you. If your sister had a daughter , she would be your niece.
Lari - So, it's nephew for boys and niece for girls.
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Lari - What?
Teacher - I said that you are right!
Lari - 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.
Lari - Really? If I had a brother , would his wife be my sister-in-law?
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Lari - How nice! Let me see if I understood the whole picture. My boyfriend's mother is my mother-in-law.
Teacher - I'd say that she will be your mother-in-law if you marry him.
Lari - but may I call her like that ?
Teacher - It's up to you. You can call his father like father-in-law...
Lari - Oh my gosh! You are opening my mind. Now I can understand many things...my boyfriend's sister once said that I was her sister-in-law because I was dating her brother...now I know she is mine too. That's awesome! ...I think I'm their daughter-in-law...
Teacher - You are going to blow the roof of the mother with this homework.
Lari - I will if you keep helping me. May I take advantage of you being here?
Teacher - Of course! That's what teachers are for!
Lari - Thanks a lot teacher! Well, could you please explain me the difference between a step-sister and half-sister? I'm getting bored to death trying to figure it out.
Teacher - half sisters have one biological parent in common, by the other hand , step sister 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.
Lari - My dad loves my mom too much and we will be together for good! I think I understood ...let me see ...If Michelle my oldest sister were just my father's daughter , she would be my half-sister, wouldn't she?
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Lari - 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...
Lari - I don't wanna any "step - something" in my life...I'm happy with the family I have...
Teacher - I agree! You have a big pig happy family!
Lari - Look out teacher! My Dad knows that you support to the opossums.
Teacher - Let's get back to the relationships , alright?
Lari - My mother's mother is my grand-mother , am I right?
Teacher - Ask your grand-father...
Lari - 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.
Lari - 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!
Lari - 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.
Lari - 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.
Lari - If my mother marries again , how would I call her new husband?
Teacher - Where is that happy forever family?
Lary - You know what I mean teacher, don't be silly!
Teacher - I thought you didn't want any step in your family?
Lari - Step-something again?
Teacher - Yeah! Step-father
Lari - 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.
Lari - Is it over?
Teacher - Actually there are more relationships we didn't mention but I think you already know them.
Lari - Like what?
Teacher - You better finish your homework.
Lari - Just more one question teacher.
Teacher - Go ahead!
Lari - Which team is the leader of Brazilian Soccer Championship?
Teacher - I will answer it if you tell me for which team does the phenomenon Ronaldo play...
Lari - Wrong answer teacher! The correct answer is Palmeiras , or Palestra , or Verdão ...or...
Teacher - See ya around!
