One Thanksgiving years ago my mom had invited a friend of hers over to spend it with us. She always did that every year, someone she knew who had no family or for some reason they would be alone on thanksgiving, she would insist that they come to our house. She always knew how to get around their pride or feeling out of place by making them feel needed. "Hey, we need another guy to help haul the folding table and chairs...or...I have a selfish motive here, i need someone to help clean up the dishes and besides that, i want you to make your famous apple dumplings."
Anyways this lady she worked with had this riddle.
It took me forever to figure it out. I never forgot it over the years. So here it is:

A man gets a phone call to come down to the morgue. There has been an accident and they need him to identify the body. After looking at the person laying on the slab, this is what he says:
"Brothers and sisters, I have none. But this mans father is my fathers son."
So...there is your only clue. Who is the dead guy?

Yes, its his son. How did you guys figure it out so fast? i actually had to put myself as the guy who gets the phone call and assign my real relatives in the place of his in the riddle to figure it out!
yeah. logic isnt one of my strong points! lol
