The Saga of the Joshes

[trystinn]

My sister has been dating a young man named Josh for a little over a year now and long story short he proposed Christmas Eve! I'm thrilled for her. My mother cannot stop cackling over the concept of having two son-in-laws named Joshua. What are the odds?

Well - here's another doozy for you. Her Joshua had the exact same thing happen to him that happened to my Joshua last night. Shit you not. Her Josh dropped a pint glass and he ended up with 9 stitches for his trouble. Emily and I can't stop laughing over it.

Coincidence?

My step-dad and my uncle were both called Fred (and Uncle Fred is still alive), so my grandma had two sons-in-law named Fred, and my poor cousin Aubrae had two Uncle Freds! I also have two Aunt Sues (one is my dad's sister-in-law, the other is my step-dad's sister), and I had two Uncle Toms (one my step-dad's brother, the other my dad's brother), but both of them died. So, it's not totally uncommon, I suppose...If it's by marriage, sure, what can you do, like?

But that is a very odd coincidence stitches-wise...!

Too funny!

I have three Uncle Johns, four cousin Johns and a host of near-misses - Shawn, Jonathan, Jean, etc.
