"Apparently my grandfather and his younger brother didn't see eye to eye to the point that they cut off all ties to one another." "Uh-huh. And?" "She is his grand-daughter making her my second cousin." ........ "Everything was going great untill we started talking about our families. It was so embarassing. We didn't even complete our lunch." &quo
