You wanna start a fight or something? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This is in fact a surprisingly touchy issue but the simple fact is we don't really know. Personally I agree with your cousin. IMO the twin's failure to accompany their father oversea indicates they, like their sister, have chosen Mortality. However Tolkien himself only says they 'delayed their choice' and gives no indication what that choice finally was, so one is free to believe otherwise if one prefers.
