Happy birthday. I was going to be solemn, and then you rank our relatives by dessert loyalty. I am glad, and I hope you get a family tie that does not need a performance.
Gently funny birthday wishes for a cousin
Tease a cousin about a reunion legend or a nickname, without a mean family punchline. Nostalgic cousin lines keep the attic and drop the elbow. These can revive a nickname they already use. They are not sibling jokes, which assume a closer house. If you only see them twice a year, keep the tease tiny or use the plain cousin hub.
