1. You have literally more first cousins than you can keep track of.
2. And it's impossible to remember everybody's name.
3. And when your cousins start having babies, the name game only becomes more difficult.
4. For holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving it takes a virtual buffet to feed everyone.
5. And if you're in the youngest generation, you sit at the "kids table" no matter HOW old you really are.
6. If you live in a small town, running into non-family-members in public means they'll ask you, "Who do you belong to?" since there are so many of you...
7. ...and if you're interested in someone, you have to ask your mom about them first to make sure you're not related.
8. Whenever you go on family road trips, you are packed into a vehicle like a clown car.
9. And those car trips sometimes quickly turn chaotic.
10. Taking a group pic is almost impossible because there are so many of you.
11. And most of the time those pictures never turn out as planned.
12. When everyone gets together at a family function, there is bound to be an argument or fight.
13. When everyone is in one room it gets as loud as a rock concert, so it's impossible to get a word in.
14. You never had a shortage of people to attend your birthday party.
15. You're always discovering new people you didn't even know you were related to.
16. It always takes half an hour to say good-bye to everybody when you're leaving any family event.
17. Getting food in public always ruffles some feathers, because it takes 15 minutes just to place your order.
18. When the whole family gets together, everything has to be purchased in bulk.
19. Sleepovers with your cousins become full-blown slumber parties.
20. Christmas means a ton of stockings, and it's impossible to buy gifts for everyone.
21. Your calendar is always dotted with bar mitzvahs, graduations, and birthday parties.
22. Older relatives always get you and your cousins confused.
23. And at weddings at least three pews are needed just for the cousins.
24. But when it comes down to it, the bigger the family, the more people you have that love you.
