Cousins -- Have you wondered what that means?

I have a lot of cousins and it's starting to get confusing. What's the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cousins. I was able, mercifully, to find one good explanation. Most of the charts are tres confusing:

(1st ) your first cousin is your mother's niece or nephew.
(2nd) your second cousin is your mother's niece's or nephew's son or daughter.
(3rd) your third cousin is your mother's niece's or nephew's son's or daughter's son or daughter.

I have some of each.
