I feel bad..
My family were heading out for a meal in a restaurant we hadn't been to for a few years, mostly because I knew a waitress there from school and felt awkward being served by her in those days. It was my birthday - we were all in good spirits, chatting away, and I had long since forgotten any trepadition.
My dad, remembering my past dislike of visiting this place, wondered aloud if I would still know the staff.
"oh that was just Becca, she's dead now"

The sudden silence was thick and the look on my mum's face as she turned to stare at me was the same one she uses for nasty people on Crimewatch. I realised they thought I was joking, which wasn't helped by my reaction to the look on Mother's face being inappropriate knee-jerk laughter.

I tried to explain that I wasn't kidding, she'd tragically died a couple of years ago and it was my birthday they had to forgive me.. I still feel bad that for a silent moment my entire family thought I had the humour of a heartless beast though :(

What about beasts with breasts?

Their fault
Their genes and your upbringing by them is what set that situation up, so don't worry about it. Even if you'd stripped off and danced on the table it would all have been their fault.

(That's how it works isn't it?)
