Not only are they mom and dad but uncle and aunt!

If Grandpa is her baby’s daddy, is her son also her uncle?

If she then has a baby with dear old dad, are they “half-siblings” or three-quarters sibings and uncle-nephew?

I am confusing myself

Sarah was the wife of Abraham, as well as being his half-sister, the daughter of his father Terah (Genesis 20:12). The Talmud [2] identifies Sarai with Iscah, daughter of Abraham’s deceased brother Haran (Genesis 11:29), so that Sarah turns out to be the niece of Abraham and the sister of Lot and Milcah. She was also the mother-in-law of Rebecca.

I say, it’s better to marry one’s sister than your enemy, as it often turns out in the end!

As my aunt sang when she had to carry my drunken uncle up the stairs into the house, “he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother!”

I thought the marriage blood tests were to see if there was an Rh factor conflict?

Bear in mind that Abraham and Sarah were brother and sister.
No, they were not. It was a silly ruse. http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0112.htm#10

wow, she was his sister married to his brother and she is the daughter of his other brother (his neice) too? Filled al lot of roles. Sounds like a bunch of gobblegook to me.

Her son would be her nephew?
His daughter would be his niece.
It’s simple really. Now if the kids got
married.....then it would get complicated.

As Einstein said, “It’s all relative.”

That was before the mafia killed him.
Why?
Because he knew too much.

I am tempted to burn everything I got from the sperm bank

I don't think that's a good idea. I had a manger who was adopted as a baby and never knew his biological parents. In his last years, he developed medical problems which could have been anticipated in advance had he known the health history of his real parents.

With that being said, if someone asks me "who's yer daddy", I don't want to have to say "some guy hard up for money with a Playboy magazine"........

Meh. Abraham and Sarah were half-siblings.

It means he read the middle but didn’t read the beginning or end.
