Scary. :eek:

That's not really scary. I think it's pretty nice of her to do, she's already had kids and she's helping out her daughter who can't carry them.

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 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.

My wife is now my mother's mom. And it surely makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife, she is my grandma too.

If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it, it simply drives me wild.

For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

:D

I agree.

That's not really scary. I think it's pretty nice of her to do, she's already had kids and she's helping out her daughter who can't carry them.

She gave birth to her grandchild. Her GRANDCHILD. :eek:

zOMG t3h ENDTEIMS! :eek:

:D

...Wait a minute, I need to make a diagram...

Thats the koolestest thing the grandmother can do.

Scary. :eek:

It's not that bad, all she did was carry the baby. You're just creeped out because you have a sick mind. :p

After reading the story, I think that it was an extremely nice thing to do. Without her help, her daughter would never have had the child she wanted.

They must live in Alabama! :D

She gave birth to her grandchild. Her GRANDCHILD. :eek:

You seem to think this is a shocking, new thing. It isn't. This was just the first time it's been done in Japan. Women, even post-menopausal women, have agreed to act as surrogate mothers for their daughters quite a few times in the states.

Sweet.
