A strange thing happened today...

Post by Axtech »

...a strange thing, indeed.

Okay, let's get some background information first.

I have a half sister (who currently lives in Toronto) named Lynda. She's my mom's daughter. I have really no information about her father (as far as my mom's concered, he doesn't exist). My (half) sister lived with us until she moved away, got married and then moved to Toronto.

Now today...

My friend Caylee was standing around with a group of her friends. I walked by, going to my locker.

Me: Hey, Caylee.
Caylee: Hey Rob. OH! ROB!
Me: Yeah?
Caylee: Do you have a sister?
Me: Yeah...
Caylee: Named Lynda?
Me: Yeah...? :wtf:
Caylee: WOAH! *points to her friend* This is your sister!
Me: She's my what?
Caylee: Yeah, this is Crystal. [or was it Christine? I was too caught off guard by it all]
Me: Umm... Hi?
Crystal: Yeah! I'm Lynda's little sister.
Me: Lynda has a little sister? Cool!
Crystal: And a little brother!
Me: Woah. This is really weird. And cool.
Crystal: I saw Lynda this summer, and when she found out I'm going to this school, she said to look for a Robert with a sister named Lynda.
Me: That's awesome.
Crystal: This'll blow your mind for the rest of the day, won't it?
Me: Yeah! This is kinda weird.
Crystal: Yeah. Apparently Susan [my mom] didn't want to have anything to do with my side of the family.
Me: Yeah, I didn't even know Lynda had other siblings...
Crystal: Well, I gotta go. But it was cool to meet you!
Me: Same here. I'll see you around school!
Crystal: See ya!

[there was a lot more conversing in there, but you get the idea]

So... I now know that I go to school with my half sister's half sister.

My quater sister?

She's not really related to me by blood, but I'd still consider it a close relation.

And now I kind of have a little sister at school, too.

This is all really weird to me. :freak:

that's not strange....strange would be you making out with your half-sister's half-sister. strange not because she's your half-sister's half-sister but because you'd be making out with a girl

Well, I suppose there's no reason I should have expected something mature when I saw that Al had replied. :lol:

:lol: that's crazy man.

when i went to a school where my family is from i had this strange incident:

walking into the bathroom, i pull up to a stall and do my buisness.

*Dude walks in pulls up to the next urinal next to me*

dude: hey, your reno, your related to Coach Ruelas right?
me: yeah, he's my uncle.
dude: we're related.....i'm your cousin.
me: :wtf: really? that's cool. er.....*shakes cousins hand*

i shaked my cousins hand while taking a leak. i didn't know what to say, what to do, or what? i just found out i had a relative. :freak:
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Cool Rob!

I find it hard to believe you didn't know about your own cousin! Maybe I'm weird, cause I only have ten total.

That's not exactly it. Just kind of what we said in a semi-correct order.

No. I know it would just be some really uncomfortable conversation from which I would gain nothing anyways.

However, I did e-mail Lynda about it, so hopefully she'll mail me back soon and tell me about my quarter siblings.
