she's right...

I do have to share this with the world. One of my brothers brought two of his children to see us on Saturday. I haven't seen the kids for a couple of years. As you might imagine we are not a particularly close family for all sorts of reasons. Anyway, we had a very pleasant time together, but I was shocked to discover that his 5 years old son is the spitting image of one of my other brothers, and also looks like my other brother's daughter. My two brothers have spent most of their life in competition with each other. They even moved to the same town as adults so that they could carry this on. I know that they have shagged each others girlfriends and wives over the years, and I can only assume that this little boy is the fruit of one such tryst. The most amazing thing is that no one in my family has ever mentioned how this boy does not look like his dad, but like his brother. There was some debate when his oldest daughter was born about who the father was, and I suppose it doesn't matter so long as the gene go on, but this one was a complete surprise to me...

Ah, families...where would we be without them?
