    This happened on an episode of Maury - my roommate and I were convinced the father was an idiot for claiming one of his twins wasn’t his, and then the paternity test came back and we lost our minds

    I have a friend who’s sister had this happen. She hooked up with her bf, got into a fight and left. Hooked up with an old side-piece the next day. I’ve met the kids and they seem fine other than having the most ghetto trio of parents of all time.

    In Greek mythology they have a couple tales of this happening as well, including Zeus was visiting a king’s wife so she got pregnant and had Hercules by him alongside a twin Iphicles from the king Amphityron.

    Amusingly I learned about this with one of my dogs. He was significantly bigger than the rest of his litter by a huge margain, when we told the vet about it the guy just said “must have a different dad”. like it was the most common thing on earth.
