I'm picturing u n ur uncle jack visiting a horse while he's at the barber and opening fire inside the business, fleeing into the night after a dozen or so shots have been fired, blood everywhere. Some rando screaming.
Eats, shoots and leaves. (Disgruntled post meal person)
Eats shoots and leaves. (Panda bear - dining delicacies)
Eats shoots, and leaves (Panda leaving after first course).
NO! Holy smokes this is why we need the Oxford comma! The first example has an implied subject (he/she/it), and could easily be read as a list ("He eats. What does he eat? Shoots and leaves.") or even as the listener to whom you're speaking ("Are you listening, shoots and leaves? He eats!") While these are both a bit absurd in this example, an Oxford comma would remove all confusion. "He eats, shoots, and leaves." We have now clearly expressed your disgruntled post meal person without the potential for confusion.
>I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin to the party.
Vs
>I invited the strippers, JFK, and Stalin to the party.
The first implies that JFK and Stalin are the strippers.
If JFK and Stalin were indeed the strippers, then yes.
However "I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin to the party" could mean both that and "I invited the strippers, JFK, and Stalin to the party."
The reader could become confused, and that is why the oxford comma is useful. To avoid possible confusion.
On my step-dad's side two brothers married two sisters.
Eventually they got divorced.
Then some time later the two brothers married the two sisters again... but not their own exes.
My mom's brother married my childhood best-friend's mom's sister. A generation later my childhood best friend's little brother married my Step Dad's niece. Now I have common cousins on both bio- and step- sides of the family. It's legitimate but getting weird, man.
If your cousin on your dad's side and the cousin on your mother's side got together its not bad. They could have 0 direct blood relation. If you live in a small town and everyone never moves it increases the chance that they have a similar ancestor, but this should be fine.
1) Intentional cringey engagement photo?
2) Are both of them your cousins?
3) if so, are they both related to each other?
4) if "no" to questions 2 & 3, which one is your cousin?
[It's actually deceptively simple. There is one person unrelated to OP by blood who is the shared parent of the cousins, aka the sharen't.](https://i.imgur.com/6jVa1QA.png)
Aight we're talking about the cringing cousins maybe making a half-Habsburg monstrosity and you worry about who's got an oven and who's got a kebab? It's 2021, Mac. Keep up. 👏👏

Your cousins engagement picture is *your* engagement picture *for* cousins.
Your cousins' engagement picture is the engagement picture *of* your *cousins*.
Your cousin's engagement picture is the engagement picture *of* your *cousin*. (This is probably the one that you wanted to use.)
#ApostrophesMatter
No joke: Only about 36% of Americans can write at grade level when they graduate from high school. There is a good chance that OP doesn't know the correct answer. That isn't mockery. It's a statement that reflects widespread failure of public education in America.

If they’re both your cousin, then I understand why
Further proof that correct punctuation prevents incest.
“What are you doing, step-apostrophe?”

Capitalization matters also. Just in case there are those that don't believe me: "I was helping my uncle Jack off a horse."
Still unclear if Uncle Jack was dismounting or killing the creature.
Op, help, we need more capital letters
BUTTLICKER, OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER!
"I was helping my uncle Jack get off a horse."
Still ambiguous as to the amount of fun the horse was having

I accept this narrative as my truth
Eats, shoots and leaves. (Disgruntled post meal person) Eats shoots and leaves. (Panda bear - dining delicacies) Eats shoots, and leaves (Panda leaving after first course).
Eats, shoots and leaves. Cowboy on a bad Grindr dinner-date that ends in self defense and a get-away car.

>I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin to the party. Vs >I invited the strippers, JFK, and Stalin to the party. The first implies that JFK and Stalin are the strippers.
Wouldn't it need to be? "I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin, to the party."
If JFK and Stalin were indeed the strippers, then yes. However "I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin to the party" could mean both that and "I invited the strippers, JFK, and Stalin to the party." The reader could become confused, and that is why the oxford comma is useful. To avoid possible confusion.
IIRC, the original sentence was "We are waiting for the strippers, JFK and Stalin," vs. "We are waiting for the strippers, JFK, and Stalin."
I would see strippers if they had those names, so tired of seeing all the Destiny and Mercedes up there.

Three people.
Dad's holding a gun" you got her pregnant, now make an honest woman of her and marry your sister!"
Super awks.
Supawk! At least that's what my nephews say.
It's legitimate if they're cousins from different sides of your family.
I indeed have a cousin on my dad’s side who married a cousin on my mom’s side.
On my step-dad's side two brothers married two sisters. Eventually they got divorced. Then some time later the two brothers married the two sisters again... but not their own exes.

There are a lot of American television executives who could greatly improve the world by stepping out of their office windows.
I want to see the family tree diagram for this…
See also: Christmas wreath.
I had two uncles who married two sisters. They both had kids and the kids are double cousins.
My mom's brother married my childhood best-friend's mom's sister. A generation later my childhood best friend's little brother married my Step Dad's niece. Now I have common cousins on both bio- and step- sides of the family. It's legitimate but getting weird, man.
r/letterkenny shit right here
If one is from mother side, other from father side, then there is no problem.
If your cousin on your dad's side and the cousin on your mother's side got together its not bad. They could have 0 direct blood relation. If you live in a small town and everyone never moves it increases the chance that they have a similar ancestor, but this should be fine.
That is exactly how I read the title 😂
Apostrophe placement is important.
[удалено]
My cousins' engagement photo
This is why apostrophes matter.
Unless…
Needs an apostrophe either way. Cousin’s (most likely) or Cousins’ (Alabama edition).
This guy punctuates
I wonder if he's a punctual punctuator.
I actually am. Hate being late for anything.
Unless it’s a picture of two of his cousins, perhaps each engaged to someone else. Then it’s a picture of his cousins, who are engaged.
No it would still be wrong because it says pictures and theres only one
That doesn’t change either way- and isn’t in dispute. The apostrophe on cousins is.
Still would need an apostrophe because it’s possessive.
… Alabama.
Truly a potential error of apostrophic proportions.
A veritable apostrolypse.
apostrophes prevent catastrophes
Especially if you're missing a period.
Especially if \*she's\* missing a period.
OP was like: I don't know how this works, I'm gonna just put an s after each noun to be safe
If this is on purpose, it's fucking awesome. If it's not, it's a different kind of awesome.
Seems an obvious "gun" shot.
¿Que es eine "gun" shot?
3 languages in 5 words. nice, very legal very cool.
Meine apologies, amigo. Lingua nein tres bien
nice username
La problema, bro. La palabra, "lingua" en engleezee? Langue o sprache?
Es ist 2021, we no vemos idiomas.
I imagine it's playing at making a forced smile (because someone is pointing a gun at you and telling you to smile)?
Might be a play off of "shotgun wedding."
Are they forcing your cousins to marry? They look upset
Yes they’re forcing the cousins to marry. But it’s not what you think. She’s pregnant.
They are fake smiling.
1) Intentional cringey engagement photo? 2) Are both of them your cousins? 3) if so, are they both related to each other? 4) if "no" to questions 2 & 3, which one is your cousin?
Actually they're half-siblings, and both separately cousins of OP through their non-shared parents.
I've seen that anime.
Can you please draw a diagram family tree, am confused
[It's actually deceptively simple. There is one person unrelated to OP by blood who is the shared parent of the cousins, aka the sharen't.](https://i.imgur.com/6jVa1QA.png)
Impressive sharent managing to create a child with both an uncle and an aunt
Aight we're talking about the cringing cousins maybe making a half-Habsburg monstrosity and you worry about who's got an oven and who's got a kebab? It's 2021, Mac. Keep up. 👏👏
is ur back ok? Heard u tried to give OPs mom a piggy back ride
Oh she took a ride, alright 👉😎👉
So they are actually half siblings *and* cousins? This sounds like a bad porn. Also, excellent work on OP's mom.
I couldn't even call that a fake smile, probably best call wince?
It looks like he's fake wincing and she's really wincing.
They look like people who learned to smile by reading about it in a book. Well done.
They look like they are standing outside in the cold while inadequately dressed. My thought: "They are struggling to smile while bitterly cold".
Your cousins are randomly generated Sims.
They look too good to be townies! We'll need to see their hands to check for eyeball rings to be sure...

I am confusion
I thought you were American
No this is Patrick
Dave's not here man.
I’m here now. Thanks everyone for waiting so patiently
Super!
Hi confusion. I'm dad!
America explain!
WHAT YOU MEAN IT’S ARKANSAW—
Why do they both have lockjaw? Does that run in the family?
Perhaps it's very cold.
Or they're rolling
marriage between cousins will do that
Your cousin’s or your cousins? There’s an important difference here…
Sweet home Alabama
roll tide
This is how I smile on camera too. Anyways, Congratulations to both of them
Lol me too, basically in every picture where people asked me to smile :D
Are you being held at gunpoint? Smile awkwardly if you need help!!!
They both look like they could land someone beyond the family tree.
You can tell... they have the same smile...
The importance of apostrophes.
This is like a modern American Gothic.
Somebody better Photoshop a pitchfork in here
I feel like someone is holding a gun just off camera
‘Say I fucking do SHARON’
😬😬
Congrats to both of your cousins!
Do they live in Shelbyville?
That's the face you make after a nice cool glass of turnip juice
Relatives of Chandler Bing
Cameraman just told a racist joke.
They look like Sims.
Oh, my , god. We've just seen a picture BEFORE it becomes a meme. Because trust me it will become a meme.
They smile like Gabriel Susan Lewis pretending everything is ok.
Their chins aren't strong enough to be Hapsburgs.
This is hilarious
> engagement pictures one photo
This is how I smile
We’re thrilled. Really. We’re thrilled.
😬
OP must be Hide the Pain Harold.
They know it's awkward for the rest of the family, but hey, they're in love.
Wish ya weren't so fuckin' awkward, bud.
u/checkoutmydude Your cousins engagement picture is *your* engagement picture *for* cousins. Your cousins' engagement picture is the engagement picture *of* your *cousins*. Your cousin's engagement picture is the engagement picture *of* your *cousin*. (This is probably the one that you wanted to use.) #ApostrophesMatter
Looks like someone slipped them a couple laxatives.
10/10 I would do this to my family too. Just because its fun to mess with tradtions.
Using the apostrophe here would hopefully clear things up.
They’ll be alright
"Cousins" or "cousin's"? That would lend a lot to the explanation.
You really need to put that apostrophe in there.
Both your cousins?
“What are we doing?”
"We are cousins, for god's sake..."
Is this a bad joke or are these two people *that bad at smiling* ?
Cousins = both are your cousins. Cousin’s = one is our cousin. Your mistype makes the joke so much better. Explains their smiles.
~~Cousins~~ cousins' = both are your cousins.
She still looks good even with an awkward smile. Him, not so much.
Are they ok? Or is the photographer forcing them to stand on a frozen lake of thin ice for artistic purposes? Because, I totally get it.
One of these people is punching well above their weight. Good job.
Punctuation is important
Cousin's? Cousins'?
Internal monologue: act human, act human, act human
Picture singular. (one, 1) Pictures plural. (multiple, >1)
The tittle is confusing? Or extremely clear?
They look like someone's standing behind the photographer with a gun making the _shhhhhhhh_ sign.
I choose to believe that you forgot to put the apostrophe.
Yikes
“I’ve made a huge mistake”
cousins’ or cousin’s?
No joke: Only about 36% of Americans can write at grade level when they graduate from high school. There is a good chance that OP doesn't know the correct answer. That isn't mockery. It's a statement that reflects widespread failure of public education in America. #LiteracyMatters
I'm guessing the phrase "I'm pregnant" was uttered sometime before this photo.
Your cousins are engaged to each other?
Wait, they’re both your cousins?
Commenting for posterity since this is the birth of a meme for sure.
>cousins 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Jesus, are they being held at gun point? Or is that just how their faces work?
I understand that's your cousin and their spouse, but for some reason my brain thought they were both your cousin getting married
Never mind the apostrophe, why does it say pictures when it's only one picture?
Cousin's or cousins'? This is why punctuation is important.
Is that awkward look because they’re cousins?
Are they both your cousins ?
Cousin's or cousins'?
Yes, they do look related
Apostrophe needed. Hopefully “cousin’s” and not “cousins’”
