Inspired by a post/question about the familial relationships between Elrohir and Feanor et all ...
Imagine a conversation between two different races about family trees. What Popped into my head was Pippin (and or Merry) in Rivendell maybe coming across Elrond's family tree (almost as confusing as theirs) and then talking about it with Elrohir and Elladan. Who would have to run away screaming first? Elf or Hobbit? 
Could go either way, it seems to me.
As I've said before .... Hobbits/Elves = not my idiom, so if anyone else gets bit by this bunny I say go for it.

Well, I would place my money on the Hobbits... *giggle* I mean, can you imagine some poor elf trying to take on Pippin on one of his good days, and especially where family trees are concerned! 
Besides, elves live way too long, and even if they tried to recount their whole family tree back to the First Age, there are only so many generations to consider... Can you imagine how many hobbit-relatives Pippin can come up with, removed umpteen times? *grin* Poor, poor elves... *shakes head*
Then again, Elladan or Elrohir would have each other for back-up (yummy elf-twins!), but I still think that even the formidable even patience doesn't stand a chance against a Hobbit!!!
LOL, this little post just made my day!

*grin* Now there's a bunny of frightening proportions... If anyone is interested, I do believe there's a good fic wherein the hobbits try to explain the exact relations among them to a very bewildered Boromir somewhere...

Oh, I hadn't read that one! I think that with that and Nancy's explanation in the original thread (too lazy to post link here) I've finally understood! Thanks - I am now educated...

Very cute! a little frightening though in just how much it echoed the posts above!! 
Still, I might have thought that a man for whom lineage and inheritance are the foundations of power, Boromir might have had a better grasp of things.
(I wonder if I could write a similar story from his point of view ... oh, help  )

well, certainly, he seemed ok at first, but really, who besides hobbits would bother counting back to that many cousins so far removed and so on... Aside from fact that what with 4 or more sibs each time... *I* still can't quite get it straight without little pictures and that fic right beside me!
*feeds the bunny* Yes, yes, please do that! What does this dear Man think of this knotty mess???
