Sherman "Shermy" Pines was born seven year before the twins and left the house à sixteen (when the stans were 9) because he didn't get along too well wih  their parents (the father being a jerk and the mother a pathological liar). He found a job, married and had a child. Unfortunately, soon after the birth of his son, he was sent to fight in Vietnam and died. His wife, needing help to take care of her child, contacted her step-parents and asked them to babysit him when she was at work, which explains why the baby, mable and dipper's father; was there durng the fight between his two uncles. Interesting theory, but I'm going to have to disagree only because Ford is so shocked and happy to find out he has a niece and nephew. Not a grand-niece and a grand-nephew. A niece and nephew. I think Alex just messed up on the timeline. The code in Lost Legends seems to suggest it was a timeline erro, too.
