African American, 25 year-old, Drug Dealer and Pimp Stepdad

So, about two years ago now, my mom and brother decide to do a “mother – son” trip. After looking over their options, they decided upon Africa, more specifically: The Gambias. It was a planned 8 day trip of sun and fun. After a couple days of chilling at the beach, my brother is approached by this one guy asking if he wants to buy some sex from his sisters. My brother being the smart 16 year-old boy that he was, wisely declined. Then, the man asked him “what about ganja?”. My brother slightly more tempted by this offer declined to buy some of this African sensimilla. However, they did end up smoking together. My mom had no idea what my brother did for the next two days as he always left for a while to hang out with his new buddy. Well, after a couple days my mom met this guy, who is about 25 (or so they think- there are no birth records, and that knowledge didn’t seem relevant). My mom is a 49 year-old white lady. Well it turns out that when they met, they really hit it off. Well they only had 4 more days to hang out before my mom and brother went back to Sweden where they live. So, the night before my mom leaves, they get engaged. For the next year they are talking on the phone and sending email letters to each other, trying to figure out how to get him to Sweden. Well towards the end of the first year, they finally figure out a way. After a month of being in Sweden, they get married. And that is how I ended up with an African American, 25 year-old, drug dealer and pimp stepdad!
