That's if who you call "dad" is your biological father. Are you old enough that the milkman may have still been making his rounds when you were conceived?
All jokes aside, people don't know their family history as accurately as they think they do. And whether its adultery or promiscuity leading to pregnancies where the sperm donor may not be known with 100% certainty, there's a lot of things that can be incorrect in what you think is your family tree.
I had been reading about genetic testing, and one of the things that came up a few times was situations where a child had a medical condition and needed a medical procedure that required a donor match. Testing was done among family members to find a match and the testing revealed that "Dad" wasnt the biological father.
