Sounds like the time when my in-laws tried to explain the conectons among
Chinese relatives... :)

I'm not sure, but I think this is a song, too.

Do you have a family problem ??
- -------------------------------
Two men met at a bar and struck up a conversation.
After a while one of them said, "You think you have
family problems ? Listen to my situation. 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 halfbrother
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 halfbrother. This was
nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the sister of
my son, my mother-in-law, is also the grandmother. This
makes my father the brother-in-law of my child, whose
stepsister is my father's wife. I am my stepmother'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 and
you think you have family problems??"
