Was Jessica's Aunt Sarah her Dad's sister or Mom's sister?


I can't remember if it was referenced or not.

reply

one would hope it was jess's mom's sister, since there was a statement at one point about her dad possibly marrying her (one of the kids talking about the "you have to tell her" scene)

reply

No the "you have to tell her" scene meant she was going to live with her Aunt Sarah. Not that they were getting married.

No, Camel just meant that Carol had brought up the possibility that they might be getting married as HER hypothesis regarding what they were planning to tell her. To this, Jessica replies "don't be revolting, she's married to my Uncle Arnold". That hopefully implies that Sarah was her mom's sister. If she was her dad's sister, she would have said "don't be revolting. They're brother and sister". Of course, Sarah may not be related to her by blood at all. It could be that Uncle Arnold is the brother of one of her parents.
