Bob Dyer: One twisted family tree - woman finds out late husband was also her father

[Not A Snowbird]

I’m my own grandpa... everybody sing!

[camle]

i was thinking the exact same thing!

[EggsAckley]

Did both of them have blue skin?

[dfwgator]

Don’t tell me, Arkansas, right?

[ArmstedFragg]

If your fiance has a complete set of your baby pictures, be suspicious.

“My biggest goal is to find them and let ’em know that [their mother] loved them, no matter what. And [to tell them], ‘Thank God she gave you away like she did me, so you could have a beautiful life.’ “It’s not a shame to be given away. Most of the time it’s a blessing.

Pro-life Bump.

She fights the natural inclination to hate him, because people who hate don’t get into heaven, she says. And if you don’t make it into heaven when the time comes, she notes, you can’t hit the rewind button and try again.

“I want this to be more of an inspirational story,” she says. “If I’ve come through this, anyone can come through anything through the help of the Lord.”

What a great attitude, from a great woman...

Meh...

LBJ’s fault.

[Michael.SF.]

I think this may be her (in the car) as a young girl:

“Forget it Jake, It’s Chinatown!”

“Did both of them have blue skin?”

You must know people from the hills of Kentucky. We did have a case where the daddy was the granddaddy. Ours didn’t have methemoglobinemia just leukemia.

AND HOW.

[DownInFlames]

If you go to a family reunion, you’re probably a redneck.

[dfwgator]

It’s “If you go to a family reunion to pick up women, you’re probably a redneck.”

When asked to estimate how many people know about this, she laughs and says, “Half of Akron.”

So, half of Akron knew but didn't say anything before they married and had kids? Half of Akron couldn't have cared less that their inbreeding might have caused the children problems?

[nickcarraway]

How come she didn’t get suspicious when he paid for the wedding?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Step aside Woody. We have a new Champion.

[svcw]

And she is telling everyone this, why?

[bgill]

I won’t go into detail, but there is a family here today where the parents are half brother and sister. Each and every one of their kids has some medical, mental and/or physical problem. At least two kids died. They refuse to listen to reason.
