Does it count if it's not me?
I was at a show with my mother, who's a bit well known for writing books. No, really. I was on the stand at a show, explaining books, selling things, and generally answering questions from the passers by.

A woman came up to me and started going on and on about how great the books were. She went on and on, then started into some great speech about how she just adoooooored my Mom and all her works, and how she'd just die if she ever met her. I'm just basically nodding. She asked me in awed tones if I'd ever met her. I had to admit that I had (who'd have thought it, I've met my Mom).

Finally, in tones of awe, she said that the best thing ever would be to actually meet her. At last, she shut up, and I got a word in edgeways.

"Today," I said with a big smile, "might just be your lucky day."

I reached over and tapped Mom on the shoulder. She'd been standing next to me all this time. All I said was: "Mom - another fan for you" and went to help someone else.

She didn't die, but it was a near thing, apparently.
