In fact, he reminds me that his brother is my brother-in-law, but that his brother's wife is not MY sister-in-law, she's Kris'. What do you think of that? :-) Just like Sarah's husband, Joe, is MY brother-in-law, not Kris'. Your head spinning? He says that that is technically true by definition.Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683000716920053346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600935.post-37362803241697617102007-02-22T19:53:00.000-05:002007-02-22T19:53:00.000-05:00You all have certainly thought long and hard about...You all have certainly thought long and hard about this! It's dizzying my tired brain for this time of night but I just wanted to comment that I dig your diagram. And that Micah can't use the transitive property (if a=b and b=c . . . ) for this. That only works in math, not real life situations. Sorry, Micah! Pretty good thinking for being a newborn though. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095630377321295014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600935.post-49905254673193287792007-02-22T11:31:00.000-05:002007-02-22T11:31:00.000-05:00Ruth, I think we should take Micah's word for it. ...Ruth, I think we should take Micah's word for it.

I took it as a tricky riddle. I assumed the brother-in-law's brother, was also your brother-in-law, making you related to him by marriage. However, if the brother-in-law is only your brother-in-law because he is married to your sister-in-law, then you are by no means related to his brother. Am I making ANY sense? Sorry to disappoint you, but you're not related. But you are free to pretend! :)Kelly Glupkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259118889199565501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600935.post-24300113542828428042007-02-20T14:38:00.000-05:002007-02-20T14:38:00.000-05:00Sorry, Kelly!
