Joe Mama!

We’re at a family party when I see my great-uncle arrive. For story’s sake, let’s call him Joe.

Me: “Mom, there’s your Uncle Joe; looks like he just got here.”

Mom: “No, Uncle Joe’s been here for a while.”

She points to her dad’s brother, Joe.

Me: “I mean Nana’s brother Joe. Your other Uncle Joe—wait, you ONLY have uncles named Joe!”

Yep, both her parents have one sibling, a brother, and both have the same name.
