 |
|
I married a widow with a grown daughter. My father fell in love with my step-daughter and married her thus- becoming my son in law, and my step-daughter became my mother because she was my fathers wife.
My wife gave birth to a son, who was, of course my fathers brother-in-law, and also my uncle for he was thebrother of my step-mother.
My fathers wife became the mother of a son, who was, of course, my brother, and also my grand-child for he was the son of my daughter.
Accordingly, my wife was my grandmother because she was my mothers mother-I was my wifes husband and grandchild at the same time-and, as the husband of a persons grandmother is his grandfather--I AM MY OWN GRANDFATHER!
Mark Twain. |

Hahaha...that's a good witty piece of writing!Midway,i got lost and wasn't being able to digest the rest..so i kept reading and laughing because i didn't understand the rest of it.I'm completely lost but the 'mistake' is that the father shouldn't have married the step-daughter,then u wouldn't find yourself being your own grandfather..if ever that were to be right??I'm going through it again!!
Is it from one of Mark Twain's works...if so which one please? |

I'm actually not sure. It must be something Mark Twain did.
I found it in an old english book by Ripleys if anyone know him. Its rather silly, believe it or not its called.. it has a lot of junk in it but this one was quite funny so i thought i would post it here. It said Mark Twain in the end so it has to be him that made it.. |
