QotD: It's A Small World
Tell us a true story that proves it really is a small world after all.
Submitted by havybeaks.
When I was in middle school and high school, my best friend was Josh. We were both kinda into the same stuff, science fiction..star wars…that kinda stuff. It turns out (as things often do) that Josh also had an aunt. That's not the weird part though. The strangeness comes from the fact that a couple years after I met Josh, I found out that his aunt was married to my uncle and had been for some time.
Weird.

No, I think it works out that we weren't technically related (as cousins) due to the fact that there wasn't a shared grandparent. It was his mother's sister marrying my mother's brother. It's just a strange coincidence. Although I'm not the best at figuring out who's related to who and what to call it. We do share cousins though, now that they're married, their two kids are both my cousins and his cousins.
Whatever it was, it was kinda freaky.
Oh, and then another friend of mine hit a random dog that ran out in front of him while he was driving and it turned out to be that same Aunt's dog.

okay things got really out of control there and entirely too complicated. heh.
so let me get this straight…his aunt isn't your aunt? or she is, but you're technically not cousins bc of the grandparent thing? and now your aunt's dog has been run over??? this is the weirdest twilight zone episode i've ever encountered. ooooooo.

I believe that his aunt is my aunt because of marriage (she's my mother's sister-in-law), but he's not my cousin due to lack of a shared ancestor. But their kids are my cousins and his cousins because of the grandparents on both sides of the family…At least I think that's how it works. Blame Wikipedia if I got that wrong
