I mean, how far back does it go?

You're re-united with your daughter, and mother, and father, and grandfather (?), and great-grandfather (?), and how about that drunk uncle (he's in HELL!), and nieces, nephews, all of your pets, and how far back does it go?

And where did they get these silly ideas from, exactly?
