I spent the weekend with my wife's sister's children. To make sure I have this straight, they have a one-word term for me. I am their ('IrneHnal}. But if I'm to refer to them, I have to say {be'nalwI' tey'pu'} "my wife's nieces/nephews" (or "niece/nephew-in-law"). Also, I just realized that if one had a transgender sibling who transitioned after having children, the terms for their children would switch. That "World's best {lor}" mug would suddenly be awkward. ~naHQun
