How I became my own grandfather

I married a widow who had a grown up daughter. My father visited us

often, fell in love with my step-daughter and married her. Thus he

became my son-in-law, and my step daughter became my mother, because

she was my fathers wife.

Soon after this my wife gave birth to a son, which of course was my

father's son-in law and my uncle for he was the brother of my mother.

My father's wife also became the mother of a son. He was of course my

brother and also my grandchild, for he was the son of my step-daughter.

Accordingly , my wife was my grandmother, because she was my mother's

mother. I was my wife's husband and grandchild at once, and as the

husband of a person's grandmother is his grandfather..

I BECAME MY OWN GRANDFATHER!

If you want the whole text rather than just this sentence you need to go to Proz jobs and ask for a bona fide translation. I am sure someone will help you!
