Geneology help
Discussion
Hi,
Recently my mum has got really really interested in geneology (sp?) - for those who dont know what that is its finding out about long dead relatives and tracing back the family tree.
She has discovered all sorts of amazing things such as a family naval history, the jobs of our ancestors and their place in society and what ships our family served on.
Now here is the question - is there any way of getting her to shut the f
k up as she is boring the st out of me...

Now here is the question - is there any way of getting her to shut the f

This'll keep her quiet:
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could 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 changed my very life,
My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
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 he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.
Father's wife then had a son who kept him 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.
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!
I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

I actually find this very interesting.
We usually know about our grandparents-but what about their parents and grandparents?
Wouldn't you want to know what your ancestors were doing a century ago.
Because I'm here now I have a good idea what they were up to for some of the time.

We know a song about that don't we?
(to the tune Auld langs sine) We're here because, we're here because, we're here because we're here!
We're here because, we're here because, we're here because we're here!
