Of course the holidays are all about family and getting together for a nice big meal together and exchanging gifts. In my family, it is a big deal to host the dinner and the women folk all argue between themselves as to who will host the dinner. They do take turns but sometimes they have to switch to accommodate unusual circumstances, like an illness. This year my sister was host and everyone did show up at the appointed time.
The women were busy talking in the kitchen and the men tried to stay either out in the garage or in the basement family room of my sister’s house. I walked into the kitchen to get a few brews from the refrigerator and they all stopped talking when I walked in. Bright boy that I am, I figured out they were discussing some girl talk things and didn’t want me to hear their conversation. So I stuck around and asked what’s up, because my curiousity was up.
Turns out my niece, who is going through a bitter divorce, was told by her estranged husband that he doesn’t believe their youngest daughter is his. She is so upset and offended at his accusations that she is willing to take a DNA test to prove to him that he is the father. To me, it sounds like a nasty legal tactic to avoid paying child support. But in today’s world, proving paternity is easy enough with DNA Testing.
Do not ask my why my mother knows about this, but she told the room full of women that you can get private DNA tests over the internet for under $200. That is not very much money to prove someone is the father of your child. By going to the web site www.easy-dna.com and ordering a DNA kit, you can know the results in about 2 weeks. Problem solved.
