Today's ghastly groaner

| May 21, 2018 1:00 AM

A pregnant woman is severely injured in a car accident and goes into a coma. When she finally recovers, she realizes that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies, “Ma’am, you had twins! A boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them. If you don’t mind my saying, he does seem a bit of a redneck!”

The woman thinks to herself, “Oh no, not my brother!” Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, “Well, what’s my daughter’s name?”

“Denise,” the doctor says.

The new mother thinks, “Wow, that’s not such a bad name! I like Denise!”

Then she asks the doctor, “What did he name my son?”

The doctor replies, “DeNephew.”
