Are your parents' first cousins your second cousins?
Your parent's first cousins are your "first cousins once removed". When referring to cousins, the number indicates (first, second etc) indicates the number of generations since you had a common ancestor. For first cousins the common ancestor was two generations previous (i.e grandparents), for second cousins it was three generations and so on This only works if the cousins are in the same generation. Therefore the 'removed' indicates the number of generations separating the people concerned. When you were born, you were one generation removed from your parents first cousins i.e you were their 'first cousin once removed'. The child of your parents cousins are your second cousins. It may be easier to understand this with diagrams rather than with words.
