“I think we should all have our DNA tested, Mum. We could find out lots of things about our ancestry and family.”
“That’s not a good idea, Gemma,” said Laura. “I keep reading reports of DNA records being stolen or misused or sold. No, your father and I won’t be doing that.”
“They’re just scare stories. Won’t you do it? Please?” Gemma tried to argue her mother round, but she was adamant.
“For the last time, no, Gemma. Now please drop it.”
Laura was ninety-nine percent sure that her husband was Gemma’s father, but that one percent risk was too great.
Ooooh! Nice twist.
Very topical! I can imagine this playing out across many homes of family historians.
Good one – I’m sure this would hit home with many!
