When some family members wanted to do 23andme, I just warned them that there might be some surprises. And there was, which turned out okay...a family member’s grandmother found a half-sibling she…

The incorrect use starts with...use. See, there is this thing called a toilet plume. No, I’m not kidding. Look it up.
