10 Reasons Why You Are More Fun Than Your Cousin

If you’re lucky enough to have a good relationship with your cousins, then you should cherish that. Cousins are great playmates when you’re young and a good support network when you’re older. Of course, just because you’re cousins and not siblings, that doesn’t mean you won’t have a bit of a rivalry going on. Let’s count the ways that you’re more fun than your cousin:

1. You can keep a secret.

Cousins get to know stuff that normal friends might not. You're the best kind of cousin. You're great at making memories, and keeping secrets.

2. You never judge.

You love your family, cousins included and you'll always be there for them. This means that you're not going to judge their bed hair or the scruffy jacket after they've been playing outside. You're easy to relax and 'be yourself' around.

3. You remember ALL the good stories about Uncle Joe.

You've got good ears and a sharp memory. You've heard all the gossip and you were there when all the interesting stuff happened. This makes you a great person to have around at family parties.

4. You know when to pick up a controller (and when to put it down).

You'll play games with the teenagers, chat with the adults, and play in the sandbox with the little kids. EVERYONE thinks you're fun.

5. You know your mom's best recipes.

You were paying attention during those forced (or somethings eager, though you'd never admit it) cooking classes and now you're one of the few people who actually knows how to make that amazing cake.

6. You knew all the best games (and aren't too old to play them with the new little ones).

You knew how to make dodgeball more fun, and you can still remember that chaotic version of bulldog with the sofa cushions that your Aunt Sally came up with when everyone got stuck at Grandma's in the storm. You won't let those games be forgotten either, because they're fun!

7. You stand up to bullies.

Let's face it, going to Paris might be amazing for the adults but it's not so great for the young ones if the word "Disney" isn't in front of it. While Mom and Dad are at the boutique stores you find all the cool distractions.

9. Sleepovers don't involve sleep.
