Charles Graham 1893

wow, that's interesting richo. At school my friend was in the same class as her uncle. Can anyone guess how that is possible? Does anyone want to guess? 😮

Yes uncle was a change of life baby and probably unexpected so he was born at the same time as his niece...

It's actually not unusual 🙂

Richo, re you comment on confusing relationships..... my father used to introduce my stepfather to friends as his husband-in-law.

Hahahhaaaa !  Love a man with a sense of humour :^O

Two little girls in blue, lad, Two little girls in blue. They were sisters, we were brothers And learned to love the two. And one little girl in blue, lad, Who won your father's heart, Became your mother. I married the other, And now we have drifted apart.

A BIG THANK YOU ca04 🙂  Now I can follow it easily, the problem was a mix up of words...

Hence:

2 little girls in blue lad, 2 little girls in blue

They were sisters we were brothers and learned to love them true,

But one little girl in blue lad, she won my father's heart,

Became my mother I married the other

But now we've drifted apart.

Phew!  that's a relief :^O

There is another one which has the line "he was his own grandpa" so i will have to find the words for that one.

In the song, the narrator marries a widow with an adult daughter. Subsequently, his father marries the widow's daughter. This creates a comic tangle of relationships by a mixture of blood and marriage; for example, the narrator's father is now also his stepson-in-law. The situation is complicated further when both couples have children.

Although the song continues to mention that both the narrator's wife and stepdaughter had children by the narrator and his father, respectively, the narrator actually becomes "his own grandpa" once his father marries the woman's daughter.

"I'm My Own Grandpa" (sometimes rendered as "I'm My Own Grandpaw") is a novelty song written byDwight Latham and Moe Jaffe, performed by Lonzo and Oscar in 1947,

I was married to a widow, who was pretty as can be.
This widow, had a grown-up daughter, 
Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law, 
And really changed my life.
Now my daughter was my mother, 
Cause she was my father's wife.
And to complicate the matter, 
Even though it brought me joy, 
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad, 
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For, if-if he were my uncle, then that also made him brother.
Of the widow's grown up daughter, who was of course, my stepmother.
Uh huh.
Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run, 
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue.
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too.
God.
Now, if my wife is my grandmother, I am her grandchild, yeah.
And every time I think of it, heh! Nearly drives me wild.
Cause now I have become, the strangest case you ever saw, 
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpaw.
Oh I'm my own grandpaw.
I'm my own grandpaw.
It sounds funny I know, but it really is so, 
Oh I'm my own grandpaw.
I'm my own grandpaw.
I'm my own grandpaw.
Talk about incest! 
It sounds funny I know, but it really is so, 
I'm my own grandpaw.
