How to be a great uncle and an evil brother all at the same time

[jar546]

I am my nephew's hero.

I am my sister's evil brother.

It's all in the gift you buy.......

I worked with an Assistant Fire Chief in Denver Colorado. His father was third of four men his mother had married and fathered children. Her fourth husband was also his grandfather, which made him his stepfather. His uncle was his brother as was his sister his aunt. And again his sister was his niece and his brother was his nephew. When the grandkids came along it got complicated.

I could go on but then... somethings don't need to be said.

Reminds me of this Ray Stevens song

I'm My Own Grandpa

(Moe Jaffe, Dwight Latham -- 1947)

Now many many years ago when I was twenty-three

I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be.

This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.

My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed.

Oh, I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

It sounds funny I know

But it really is so

Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life.

My daughter was my mother, 'cause she was my father's wife.

To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy,

I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,

And so became my uncle though it was very sad.

For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother

Of the widow's grown-up daughter who of course was my step-mother.

Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,

And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son.

My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue,

Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother, too.

Now if my wife is my grandmother then I'm her grandchild,

And every time I think of it it nearly drives me wild,

For now I have become the strangest case I ever saw.

As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa.

Jar,

Get him some Phill Collins sheet music or CD's for his birthday!

 

[Yikes]

When my nephew was an infant, my sister-in-law played him soft, quiet lullabys. I, on the other hand, played him Joe Satriani's "Surfing with the Alien"... guess which one he liked better??

Great uncle, evil brother.

Yikes, My son LOVES Satriani!

Jeff, the (younger) brother in me is LMAO... the father in me is remembering all the noisy gifts my Mother-in-Law would gleefully get for my children... those were the ones we left at HER house for when the grankids went to visit.

Jeff even better.

When my own offspring would act out (Rare) in public

I would say loudly enough for those who witnessed bad behavior.

"This is the last time I take you kids out for my brother"

Get in the care and I'm taking you to your house.
