Someone else posted a funny that reminded me of this, but I didn't want to hijack their thread.

My future-ex-step-father-in-law (don't make me explain it) is a trauma nurse. A few years ago....... This is a true story BTW......a few years ago a lady's son was bitten by a spider. The mother smushed the spider with a shoe and took the shoe, the spider-smush and her son to the ER where she states to my ..... relative..... what happened while showing him the dead spider. My relative goes and find a doctor and shows him the shoe with little other explanation, asking only "what do you think?". The doctor replied "Massive trauma to the head and thorax, no chance of resuscitation." and walks on.

Ya gotta LOVE quick thinking doctors!

Are you by chance your "own Grandpa" too?
 
Don, he is really from Kentucky.:wink: That kind of stuff goes on here and in Tennessee all the time.:rolleyes: We count kin in a different way. Sorry, if you did not grow up here, you would never understand the explaining.:confused::confused::biggrin::smile::party:

I didn't grow up in either TN or KY, but I understood....

I have an uncle whose father and brother married a mother and daughter..(the father married the daughter, the brother married the mother - go figure) each of them had 2 kids by their respective spouses... what relation ship are the kids...
BTW these guys are Okies.
 
Do you really want to know?

I'm not sure you really want to know.

The son's children (with the Fathers mother-in-law) are the father's grand children --- straight line.

The Fathers (with the sons mother-in-law) children are the son's half-siblings---sharing one parent.

Hence the sons children (with the father's mother-in-law) are neices/nephews of Father's children (with the son's mother in law) [one could say half-neices/nephews

Figuring the relationships from the women's side switches things so the children considered on the whole are both aunt/uncles and neice/nephew to each other.

A little tricky but you did say it was Okies.

Taking it one step farther....what relationship are they to you?

Thanks, that gave me a massive headache.... :confused:

Fortunately, no relation to me... my uncle is married to my dad's sister, so I guess he would actually be an uncle in law???
:biggrin:

The second definition in the dictionary for "uncle" is "aunt's husband" so as long as he is married to your aunt he is your uncle....
