A man and his sister were out walking together one Saturday morning. The man pointed across the street to a boy and said: ‘That boy is my nephew.’ The woman replied: ‘He is not my nephew.’ Can you explain this.

That boy ish is wife's nephew. Then that boy can be his nephew. but not his sister's nephew.
right?:confused:
The man is uncle for the boy same blood relation... and the sister is the mother for that boy...
shenoy and manoj are right...
But i think u don call a wife's nephew as ur nephew barbie!!
Shenoy's answer is much relevent to this one.
but we can call spouse's nephew as ur nephew too..
This is the dictionary referece for nephew:
1. a son of one's brother or sister.
2. a son of one's spouse's brother or sister.

Anyways thats ok.But its too round about way of thinking...I felt that as somewhat absurd!!
But since it was based on lateral thinking., I appreciate that u thought quite differently compared to others..
nice one barbie
you have proved your point!
bye
:)
thanks shenoy..
but yours is much relevent.
If thats the case barbie then will that nephew of him indirectly be related as her nephew too.. Though there is no actual blood relation??
I am not much clear with relations.:confused:
but i think one can't always have the same relation as their brother.
(especially in the case if in law relations)
yeah even i was a bit confused reg that...
The boy was sisters son....
