Complex Relations
Many many years ago when I was twenty three,
I got 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 the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse, although 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
To the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my step-mother.
Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son.
Who is my grandma?

Who is my grandma?
Answer
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild.Hide Answer Show Answer

LOL...good one! Poor guy. And, although he should have given credit for it, the reason braingle is here is to provide quality brain teasers, and he did just that.
i agree with missie. whether you get them from somewhere else or make them up on your own, the purpose is to share teasers with the others who visit this site. i personally had not heard this one and enjoyed it.
I also have not heard this before. I thought it was pretty good.
:::sniff sniff::: Smells like incest.
Okay then.....
She isn't really his grandmother. She is a grandmother-in-law.

That is such a good one! I really like that!! And I am so impressed cos I actually got it!! Ignore the people who complain because it is from somewhere else!!
The whole idea of this website is to share riddles etc. it is a bonus if they are made up by the person who submits them!!

ello, make as much teasers as arij, and then we'll see how many of yours could ever happen.
Oh, man! That teaser is great, but could someone help me get my brain out of a knot?
OK........Like I understood any of that!.......ummmmmm...... I guess i'm just stupid!?!?!?!
i learned this in biology while we were doing pedigrees i actually learned something, yay!

Great teaser no matter where it came from. Good job and mind boggling. Loved it.
WOW i got lost in the family somewhere. that was good! how did you keep it all straight in your head to write it??
It is good, but I'd like to see someone using another's work cite them in the answer.
I heard this in the movie "The Stupids", when Tom Arnold sang it on a show like Jerry Springer!
Wow. Good one! Talk about your confusing family tree...
Yeah, that did remind me of the Stupids movie. I used to watch it a lot when I was younger.
Is this in Kentucky?
