Relativity

(From the book "The Storyteller's Minute by Frank Mihalic)

I am married to a widow who has a grown up daughter.

My father visited us often, fell in love with the daughter and married her. And so my father became my son-in-law and my step-daughter became my mother,since she is the wife of my father.

My wife had a son. He became my father's son- in-law and my uncle, because he was the brother of my step-mother.

My father's wife, that is: my step-daughter, had a son who naturally was my brother and at the same time my grandson, since he was the son of my daughter; and my wife became my grandmother, since she was my mother's mother.

I was at the same time the husband of my wife and her grandson, and since the husband of my grandmother is my grandfather, I am my own grandfather.
