"His Own Grandfather" This is how a man figures out the complex relationship of his own much mixed up family. He is Edmund Thomas of Saltillo, Ohio, and says: " I met a young widow with a grown-up step-daughter and I married the widow. Then my father met my step-daughter and married her. That made my wife the the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and made my step-daughter my step-mother, and my father became my step-son. See? Then my step-mother, the step-daughter of my wife, had a son. That boy was of course my brother because he is my father's son, but he was also the son of my wife's daughter, and therefore her grandson. That made me the grandfather of my step-brother. Then my wife had a son. My mother-in-law, the step-sister of my son, is also his grandmother, because he is her step-son's child. My father is the brother-in-law of my child because his step-sister is my wife. I am the brother of my own son who is also the child of my grandmother. I am my mother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew and I am my own grandfather."
