When I sit and think about it too much it makes my head hurt, especially when you add in the weird array of ages in our family. You see my boyfriend is 10 years older than me and my parents had me fairly young while his parent's were well into their 30's when he was born. This is the reason why our daughter has an uncle who is the same age as her cousins, and grandparents who are the same age as her paternal aunt, and great-grandparents who are the same age as her grandmother.
If I had a talent for writing I would turn this whole thing into a play.
