Marcus has a younger sister named Janine. Marcus and Janine have an uncle, Tom, who has two children named Liam and Julie. Marcus recently attended a family reunion where he met his cousin's child for the first time. What is the relation between Marcus and his cousin's child? Who in this scenario is directly related to Tom?

Provide a very brief response.
Marcus's uncle Tom has two children, Liam and Julie, which means Liam and Julie are Marcus's and Janine's first cousins. The child of either Liam or Julie would then be Marcus's first cousin once removed. Therefore, Marcus is the first cousin once removed of his cousin's child.

Tom is directly related to Marcus and Janine as their uncle, which means he is the brother of one of Marcus's and Janine's parents. Tom is also directly related to Liam and Julie, as they are his children. Marcus's cousin's child is Tom's grandchild, which adds another direct relationship for Tom. Thus, Tom's direct relations in this scenario are his children (Liam and Julie), his grandchild (Liam's or Julie's child), and his niece and nephew (Marcus and Janine).
