The Restaurant at the End of the Universe ‧ 1980
One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of accidently becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem involved in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The passage treats becoming one’s own parent through time travel as something an unusually broad-minded family could manage. Its absurd premise makes the reassurance comic rather than advice about actual family relationships.
