The following riddle (and people's reactions to  being  asked
it for the first time) may be instructive.

A father and son were traveling by car.  They get run over by
a train.  An ambulance takes the pair  to  a  hospital.   The
father  is dead on arrival.  His son is seriously injured and
needs immediate  surgery.   A  surgeon  is  called  for.   On
entering   the  operating  room,  the  surgeon  blanches  and
exclaims, "I can't operate on this boy; he's  my  son".   How
can this be?
