This gave me a giggle
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!

I've thought about it for a while and it seems impossible to come up with an answer that has no contradictions!
The father's baby would be the step-brother of the son, so that would make the father's baby the uncle of of the son's baby. On the other hand, the father is married to the step-daughter of the son, which means that the father's baby would also be the grandchild of the son, maki

Here is a riddle which my mother invented based on this.
A lady is the grandmother to both a mother and a child

Hey every1,
here is something strange for me in this riddle :
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.
My wife is the mother of my mother-in-law that doesn't make her my grandma !!
What do u think ?
Take care
