A man is driving his son to school when an horrendous car crash occurs. The man is killed in the impact and the boy is horribly injured. An ambulance rushes the boy to hospital where, upon arrival he is wheeled straight into the operating theatre.

The surgeon scrubs clean and takes a look at the boy before breaking down in tears saying - "I cant perform this operation... This is my son!"

Explain?....

The boy was adopted by his step-dad? (i.e. mommy's second husband)
