Re: How do you go from Andrews to Anderson?
Realistic Edition: Theophilus has a rich Uncle Andrew. To ensure he was kept in the will, Theophilus names his firstborn son Andrew. Andrew dies, so son #2 is also called Andrew. The cycle repeats multiple times to ensure there is an Andrew in the family when rich Uncle Andrew dies. By this time, the family is known as the "Andrews family", after which Chester is born. Andrew Andrews and his first wife have a son, Rupert. Chester introduces Rupert as "Andrew's son". Down the years it gets contracted to "Andy's son" then "Anderson".Family Feud Edition: Andrew Andrews' first wife dies childless, and he remarries. The new couple have a son, Bryan Andrews. Chester is fiercely loyal to Wife #1 and ignores Wife #2. Therefore, he insists on introducing his nephew Bryan as "Andy and her son". Bryan then gets married and has a son, Marcus. Bryan and Chester have a fight. Marcus takes Great Uncle Chester's side, right up to the point of changing his name to Marcus Anderson.Misheard Edition: After Wife #2 dies, Andrew Andrews emigrates to America with their youngest son. At the dock, Andrew yells at a dog sniffing around their luggage. He then says to the immigration agent "My name is Andrew Andrews, and this is my son." The busy and distracted immigration agent records their names as "Doug and Andrew Anderson."
