Getting a node's cousin

xsl cousin

Given this XML
<data>
<parent>parent1
<child>child1
<grandchild>child1_of_child1</grandchild>
<grandchild>child2_of_child1</grandchild>
</child>
<child>child2
<grandchild>child1_of_child2</grandchild>
<grandchild>child2_of_child2</grandchild>
</child>
</parent>
when I am processing a grandchild, how can I access the immediate next set of
grandchildren, ie my sibling's children (hence my cousin term)  I've tried using
position() incremented by 1 (with a test for existence) but the position() seems
to be always using my position and not that of my parent.
For example ../../child[position()] uses the grandchild position within the
current child.  Not exactly what I want.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
