Third

Third is a relative term. It is a family oriented term if you have three in the family. It can mean one more than two. But third also refers to third base. When Alex Rodriguez plays in the field he is on third base. Sometimes I think third can also refer to the planet Earth because we are the third from the Sun. And it can refer to the third of any series. For this reason the word third is one of my favorite words, and it is a favorite in my family, too.
