If your father and my father were brothers, you and I would be cousins (first cousins). If you had a son and I had a son, our sons would be second cousins of each other, and your son would be my first cousin, once removed (same for you and my son, obviously). If my son had a daughter, you and my granddaughter would be first cousins, twice removed. Your son and my granddaughter would be second cousins, once removed. If your son also had a daughter, our granddaughters would be third cousins to each other. If my granddaughter had a daughter, then you and my great-granddaughter would be first cousins, three times removed, and your son and my great-granddaughter would be second cousins twice removed, and your granddaughter and my great-granddaughter would be third cousins once removed.
So your second cousin, twice removed, would be either your father or mother's cousin's great-grandchild or their great-grandparent).
Wasn't this a Heinlein plot?
Sheesh.
Clear as mud?
Quite.

All together now: "Many many years ago when I was twenty three, I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be."
