Well you see....

My mother, Primula Brandybuck, was Bolbo's first cousin (his mother and her mother were sisters). And my father, Drogo Baggins, was Bilbo's second cousin. Thus, I am Bilbo's first-and-second-cousin, once removed either way. However, he and I did use the terms 'uncle' and 'nephew' as terms of affection. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
