Look at Luke and Leia Skywalker, it can happen

Actually in all seriousness, the incest question is the perfect example of why it is a bad idea to get advice from a write in column. The context of that relationship is such that it would have a huge impact on the advice.

Maybe what she describes really is creepy and she needs to be concerned. Maybe she has a severe jealousy problem and sees smoke where there is no fire. Maybe she and the sister hate each other and that is clouding her judgment. Prudence knows none of these things, yet wades in with advice anyway. Is it good advice? Maybe. But who knows?

It reminds me of the gawd awful Dr. Laura show, where some schlub will call in and get 5 seconds of air time to explain her problem, then Laura interrupts them and gives major life advice based on that 5 seconds of information.

The whole concept is idiotic.
