I used to believe that all of your aunts were your mother's sisters and all of your uncles's were your father's brothers. This was because my mom had 3 sisters & no brothers, and my dad had 2 brothers and no sisters. I remember being very confused at 5 years old when I was told that the man my Aunt Nancy was marrying would be my Uncle Shane. I couldn't figure out how he could become my father's brother.
