<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

A few nights ago I went to the gym with a good buddy of mine and he came over to my dorm afterwards to get a snack. We ended up talking about our parents and love lives etc. (basically a few personal things)

Since I only talked about my mom he asked me what my father was like. I explained he was no longer around because he passed when I was four but regardless he had left home a while before that. He commented that it must have felt strange not having a father. I replied no it was normal since my mother was both to me. Everything was fine but immediately after that he said **" Yeah it felt weird when my parents told me they were first cousins"**

I didn't react aloud but inside I was like "holy crap what the hell???" I could have sworn this type of stuff wasn't normal anymore. He then just said "yeah it was strange because they have the same uncles and aunts but they fell in love so what could I do?"

I guess he had the right mentality to go living with it but I couldn't help but wonder how the rest of the world would feel...
<bot>: My friend's parents are first cousins and he seemed pretty chill about it. Sparked my interest in how others would feel if they had the same situation.
