Also,
Once, my mum said there was a really big gap between my mate and his little brother and asked me why. Ages later I realised there's about the same gap between me and my brother, but I lack the courage to ask my mum why.

My parents divorced after I was born, I don't want to find out that I was a failed attempt at saving the marriage.

better not to ask
there was ten years between my parent's marriage, and them having me. Despite the fact they had loads more after me, it was still quite horrible hearing that I was an accident, and that my mother had never wanted children.

I wouldn't ask
But surely as long as your parents treated you the same and loved you the conception bit doesn't need to be thought about. My mum and dad were both accidents. My grandad planned them. My grandma didn't. oops

*EDIT* my mum and AUNT FML!

the way you phrased that
makes your mum and dad sound like they have the same mum and dad

I discovered there's an area near wigan (can't remember which)
which is supposed to have the worst incest rate in the country. I said "what, worse than norwich?" Turns out not everyone is aware of the norwich-incest joke and I had to explain myself in the middle of a meeting.

I thought that was as universal
as the Welsh shagging sheep rumour

Apparently not.
Turns out wigan folk are actually living in the 1950s and have only left wigan to go on an all inclusive holiday to spain.

A friend's 10 year old niece
one day realised what the age difference between her and her infant sibling might mean. The poor thing got it the wrong way round though. Her parents found her sobbing "Imastake! Imastake!", it took a while for them to work out she wasn't calling herself a steak.
