You share parents in common, you are siblings. You share grandparents in common, you are first cousins. You share great-grandparents in common, you are second cousins. And so on.

The removed business refers to when someone is of a different generation. Your grandmother is his greatgrandmother, then you are first cousins once removed. And so on.

To clarify the removed business explanation: this doesn't mean that you are your children's first cousin once removed, hahaha. The explanation was a bit overly simplified. If one of your parents is first cousins with someone, then you are first cousin once removed with that person (and second cousins with that person's children.)
 
And to clarify the cousins bit, the person with whom you share the closest familial relationship defines the relationship, so you share greatgrandparents (but not parents or grandparents) to be second cousins. So you're not cousins or first cousins with your sister. heh
 
In first year Latin in ninth grade, we had read Oedipus and Antigone, and the last question on the test was, "How was Oedipus related to Antigone?" I got done with the test early, so I had some time, and I came up with a whole page of different ways he was related to her 😀 I was notorious for getting the teacher going on some tangent and getting us out of work because we were discussing something else, and the next day she asked me to explain myself, and I got to spend the whole class period drawing family trees (sans branches) on the board. It was awesome.
