[speaker001:] Dad, you keep talking about family in New Zealand. Who are they?
[speaker002:] Well, that's your uncle Bill, his wife and two of their daughters.
[speaker001:] Is uncle Bill your brother?
[speaker002:] No, your uncle Jack is my brother, Bill is my brother-in-law, your mom's brother.
[speaker001:] So his two daughters are my cousins?
[speaker002:] That's right, Sarah and Jane are both your cousins although they are step-sisters.
[speaker001:] What are step-sisters?
[speaker002:] Sarah is your uncle Bill's older daughter. When she was young, Bill's first wife, Sarah's mom died. Three years later Bill married again.
[speaker001:] So uncle Bill's wife is Jane's mother but not Sarah's mother. Right?
[speaker002:] Yes. She is Sarah's step-mother.
[speaker001:] And when are they coming to visit us?
[speaker002:] They want to travel to Europe next year, and will visit us at the same Ae.
