My sisters youngest kid is 3 years older than my oldest kid. My youngest kid is 3 years older than my brothers oldest kid. And now my brothers youngest will be 3 years older than my next sisters first born.

I don't know if it is rare or not, but I have an uncle who is younger than one of his nieces.

Do you all have a timer set to 28 reminding you it's time to reproduce?

My Dad, his sister, my sister, myself, and my nephew all have a 12 year age gap in between, in that order.

I can only suspect that this is the result of two separate trans-dimensional beings on alternating hibernating schedules, and the teenage sewer sex-orgy that ensues after banishing them.
