	The reason HDL call Daisy "Aunt" is probably because she is an elder
woman. And do remember that HDL have had dates with AMJ. If they were cousins,
this would sound pretty, well, censored, in lack of a better word. And in
some stupid stories Daisy, Donald and Gladstone are even all stated as cousins.
But as Don says (good thing somebody finally did) in his family tree, Daisy,
April, May and June are NOT relatives to the Duck family.
