There is no place like home, and there are no people like your own people.
Cousins.
They call the same people Grandma and Grandpa. Their parents are perfectly comfortable with each other. They have the same nose and the same laugh, or at the very least they like the same casseroles (passed down from the same great aunts). They compete and tease like siblings, but with a little bit of extra thoughtfulness thrown in.
