This morning was a little too hazy to get a good photo for the "Do you know Houston" game, so......A riddle instead.  I've always liked this one.  Here goes...

"Brothers and sisters I have none,  that mans father, is my fathers son."     What relation is 'That man' to me?    Good luck...

storm, no, it isn't me. Usually when I tell this riddle, I'll point to an imaginary person when I say 'that man's father'. It would be like telling it to one person, and pointing to a third. (i hope I'm not confusing you) Anyway, NO, it isn't me. Its a family member. Remember, "brothers and sisters, I have none"....

OK sudden breakthrough: Could it be your half-nephew?

Brothers and sisters, you have none, but does that inlude HALF-brothers??

storm, aggrivating huh? The first time I heard it, I did the same thing. Round and round...
I'll tell you this, no half anythings. It isn't a trick. It's all in the goofy wording. Maybe it would help if when you say "that man's father" ,point at an imaginary person, and when you say "my father's..", point at yourself. Just look at it like your telling a third person, with just you and the imaginary 'that man's' person. (hope I didn't confuse you) Anyway, NO, it isn't nephews or half anythings. Good luck.
