[PW] Do-whach-its-in-law

[Chris Corston]

In the immortal words of the traditional Glasgow song:

Oh ye cannae shove yer grannie aff the bus,
Oh ye cannae shove yer grannie aff the bus,
Ye cannae shove yer grannie
For she's yer mammie's mammie,
Ye canna shove yer grannie aff the bus.

Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus.
Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus.
Ye can shove yer ither Granny
'Cos she's yer Faither's Mammy
Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus.


Cheers!

Sensible response:

It seems that the term "Co-Grandparent" can be an extension of the term
"Co-Parents" to describe the relationship between biological parents and
step-parents.  In this case, co-grandparent refers to the grandparental
relationships between the biological and step-grandparents.  One site
suggests that;

"Co-grandparent refers to the  role  of any of a stepchild's living or dead
step-grandparents and bio-grandparents."
(http://sfhelp.org/Rx/kin/grandparents1.htm (beware!  pop-up heavy web site,
not to be too trusted I fear.)

Not so sensible response;

A mother-in-law that gets on well with the  other mother-in-law?

In my family, that would be called a miracle.

hahaha etc.
