Nope. They're second cousins.

No. Your parents' brothers and sisters are your aunts and uncles.
Degree (first, second, third) and removeds confuse people more than any other relationship.
Your parents' cousins are your cousins (same degree) once removed.
Your parents first cousins are your first cousins too, but once removed. We abbreviate that 1C1R.
Your parents' second cousins are your 2C1R.
Your parents' third cousins are your 3C1R.
Your grandparents' first cousins are your first cousins twice removed, since they are two generations "up" the tree from you.
Great grandparents' cousins are yours 3 times removed and so on.
It goes the other way, too. When you and your first cousins get old enough to have children, your 1C's children will be your 1C1R and you will be their 1C1R.
Second and third cousins come in when cousins have children.
Children of first cousins are second cousins to each other.
Children of second cousins are third cousins to each other.
and so on.

has a 4-color chart, if you count black and white as two colors.

The following link to a cousin chart explains the relationship (and many others as well): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin
As other posters have said, your second cousin shares the same great grandmother and grandfather as a common ancestor. Since your second cousin is your mother or dad's first cousin, he or she is about the same age as your aunts and uncles, hence the confusion.

No, they are your First cousins once removed.
However, if you come from a southern culture and your parents cousins are older than you, you refer to them as Aunt or Uncle out of respect for their age.

Your parents first cousins are your first cousins once removed. You are a 2nd cousin to your parents first cousins.
A lot of people think you just go back 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Some would mistakenly say you are a 2nd cousin of your parents first cousin and 3rd cousin of their children. As long as you are in the same generation coming down from a common ancestor there are no removes. Your parents share the same grandparent with their first cousins, so they are in they are in the same generation coming from a common ancestor. The removes come in when you are in a different generation coming down from a common ancestor.

Your parents' cousins are your cousins also. Aunts and uncles would be the siblings of your direct ancestors. Your parents' siblings would be aunts and uncles; your grandparents' siblings would great aunts and uncles; your great-grandparents' siblings would be great-great aunts and uncles, and so on. The CHILDREN of all those aunts and uncles are your cousins of varying degrees of relationship.

as your parents cousins share a set of Grandparents with each other, and a set of Great grandparents with you then they would be second cousins.
