Description

HIS OWN GRANDPA
I married a widow, who had a grown daughter. My father visited our
house very often and fell in love with my step-daughter Mid married her.
So my father became my son-in-law and my step-daughter my mother, because she was my father's wife. Sometime afterwards my wife had a son;
he is my father's brother-in-law and my uncle, for he is the brother of my
step-mother. My father's wife, namely my step-mother, also had a son;
he is of course my brother, and in the meantime my grandchild. My wife
is my grandchild for she is the daughter of my daughter. My wife is my
grandmother, because she is my mother's mother. I am my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time, and as the husband of a person's
grandmother is his grandfather, I am my own grandfather. Can you
figure this out? If so, tell Kinnavey, and help him to figure out all of his
gelations.
