curiosity

Curiosity can be dangerous—especially when it involves a DNA test. I signed up years ago thinking I’d learn about my ancestry and check the relation with an alleged sibling(he is my brother). Instead, I opened a treasure chest of family scandals buried deeper than my Viking roots (which, fun fact, are 65%). The power of Thor runs deep in me.

Here’s what I uncovered:
Multiple affairs? Check.
Surprise siblings? Oh, absolutely more than a few.
Family myths debunked? Turns out we’re not as Italian and Irish as we thought.

With 23andMe class actions constantly in my email, I can’t help but wonder:
Can I sue for emotional damage from discovering Grandma’s extracurricular activities?
What about therapy bills for untangling this family bush?
They sell these kits as fun ways to learn your heritage. They don’t warn you about the Jerry Springer-level drama they might unleash.

Thinking about grabbing one of these on Black Friday? Just know: your family might not be ready for what you’ll find. Or worse—you won’t be ready.
