Here's Something I've Often Wondered About

Tweet

I've never found a clear answer to this. Maybe someone can give me a clear answer. (Again set to rhyme) The Missing "Grand" Father/, Grandfather/, Great Grandfather/, Great,Great Grandfather/, and so-on down the line.... Mother/, Grandmother/, Great Grandmother/, Great, Great Grandmother/, these all occur in time. But in the case of "Uncles" and "Aunts" the strangest thing occurs... History drops the "Grand" from them And causes quite a blur. 'Cause now your timeline's all messed up and hard to follow through. Since "Grand Aunt and Uncle" don't exist A generation's missing too. Why not "Grand Uncle" and "Grand Aunt"? Don't they deserve a place? In human gen-e-al-o-gy...., I think it's a disgrace! By Carl J. Bridgman Feb. 2, 2025
