Wow! Elven aunts & uncles! And I thought elves existed only in fantasy rpgs! j/k

I have, oh about 4 or 5 cousins on my side of the family, and a about a gazillion bajillion on my wife's side. She is constantly exasperated by the fact that I give her a blank stare whenever she mentions a particular one, especially if the relation is somewhat distant.

Wife: Do you know so-and-so?
Me: Who? Is it one of your Quota CLub friends?
W: No silly! It's my mum's uncle's nephew's niece's cousin's daughter-in-law! You know, the one who had to undergo hair surgery. We met them at (yet another relative)'s wedding.
M: Who?
W: (Irritated tone) You know! The one with no ears, and with a crooked nose & missing teeth!
M: Err, sorry the name doesn't ring a bell. Maybe if I might know them by face...
W: (Thoroughly exasperated) Never mind!
