My Relatives

My name’s Jerry Cooper and everybody says I must

be mentally ill when I talk about my relatives.

You see, I married a widow with a grown-up daughter

who then became my stepdaughter. My dad came to visit us,

fell in love with my lovely stepdaughter, and then married her.

So my stepdaughter is now my stepmother.
Soon my wife had a son who was, of course,

my dad’s brother-in-law since my son is the half-brother of

my stepdaughter, who is now, of course, my dad’s wife.

So as I told you, when my stepdaughter married my dad,

she was at once, my stepmother. Now since my new son

is brother to my stepmother, he also becomes my uncle.
As you know, my wife is my stepgrandmother since

she is my stepmother’s mother. Don’t forget that my

stepmother is my stepdaughter. Remember, too,

that I’m my wife’s grandson. But hold on just a few

minutes more. You see, since I’m married to my

stepgrandmother, I am not only my wife’s grandson

and her husband, but I am also my own grandfather.

我的亲戚们

我的名字叫杰瑞•库柏，大家都说只要我说起我的亲戚们，我就肯定是疯了。

你知道，我娶了个寡妇，她有一个已经成年的女儿，这样她的女儿就成了

我的继女。我爸爸来看望我们，他和我的可爱的继女坠入情网，

然后就娶她为妻。所以我的继女现在就是我的继母。很快我妻子生了个儿子，

当然，因为我儿子是我继女，即我爸爸的妻子，

的同母异父的弟弟，他现在当然就是我爸爸的内弟了。

所以正如我告诉你们的，当我的继女嫁给了我爸爸，她立刻就成了我的继母。

现在由于我新生的儿子是我继母的弟弟，他也就成了我的叔叔。
正如你所知，因为我妻子是我的继母的妈妈，所以她成了我的继外祖母。

别忘了，我的继母又是我的继女。还要记住，我还是我妻子的外孙子。

但是再坚持一小会儿。你知道，由于我娶了我继外祖母，

我不仅是我妻子的外孙子和丈夫，而且我还是我自己的外祖父.
