Indiana--America's "Mississippi North"?

Phil Bailey is keeping it  "All in the Family"...and taking his "little red riding hood" directly to Grandma's house:

From Yahoo Lifestyle:

Pearl Carter is positively glowing with joy. She has a handsome new boyfriend, is enjoying an active sex life after many years of celibacy and, amazingly, is preparing to become a mother again.

But the retired grandmother isn't carrying the baby herself. She and her young lover have spent a staggering $54,000 hiring a surrogate to help them with their dreams of having a child.

What makes Pearl's decision to become a mum again even more shocking is that her new boyfriend is her biological grandson, 26-year-old Phil Bailey.

Ha! Yes, readers! YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SCRUB THAT FROM YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. Consider it my belated April Fools' joke to you.  You might as well keep reading:

However, the pair makes no apologies for their controversial plan to start their own family.

'I'm not interested in anyone else's opinion,' Pearl says. 'I am in love with Phil and he's in love with me. Soon I'll be holding my son or daughter in my arms and Phil will be the proud dad'.

Phil adds, 'I love Pearl with all my heart. I've always been attracted to older women and I think Pearl is gorgeous. Now I'm going to be a dad and I can't wait.

'Yes, we get laughed at and bullied when we go out and kiss in public but we don't care. You can't help who you fall for.'

I always said Indiana was a little bit of the south, up north. 

For those of you tuning in from less terrible states, Indiana is a magical place where dads pick their 6-year-old daughters up for custody visits and tell them "coon" jokes on the way to the Dairy Queen.* Where the holocaust museum gets burned down. And now, thanks to  Phil Bailey and his granny, a place where 26-year-olds bone their Nana.  


Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house he...eeew.


*(Gee, thanks, Dad. And to think, some kids were going to Europe during the summer! At least no one in the family ever questions why I became a comedian. Or voted for Obama.)
