𝔸 pregnant woman is in a car accident and falls into a deep coma. Asleep for nearly six months, she finally wakes up and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replies, "Ma'am, you had twins, actually. A boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them."
The woman thinks to herself, "Oh no, not my brother, he's such an idiot!"
Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Okay, what's the girl's name?"
"Denise," Says the doctor.
The new mother thinks, "Wow, that's not a such bad name. I guess I was wrong about my brother. I like Denise." Then she asks the doctor, "What's the boy's name?"
The doctor replies, "Denephew."
This joke hinges on sound, of course, sounds that resemble each other, in this case, "the niece" and "Denise", which gives us the opportunity to look closely at relations, relatives, for example aunts and uncles and all the different maternal and paternal in-laws. As usual, a table will help us understand better.
