WooWee...What a complicated web we weave.

[Guest guest]

Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation.

One of them kept complaining of family problems.

Finally, the other man said, " You think you have family problems? I'm from West

Virginia. Things get a lot more complicated there.

A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter, and we got

married. Later my father married my stepdaughter.

That made my stepdaughter my stepmother and my father became my stepson. Also,

my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law.

" Then the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son. This boy was my

half-brother because he was my father's son, but he was also the son of my

wife's daughter, which made him my wife's grandson. That made me the grandfather

of my half-brother.

" This was nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the half-sister of my son,

my stepmother, is also the grandmother. This makes my father the brother-in-law

of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife. I'm my stepmother's

brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew

and I'm my own grandfather!

" And you think you have family problems! "

little of each other everywhere. " ~

entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. "
