Two stories- same concept1) I was talking to this girl, and she said something and i replied "yeah, that's what your mum said when i was in bed with her!" and she said "my mum's dead". I thought "shit... wait... haha... she's just joking". Later on (i was in a 'saying yeah your mum' kinda mood), i said it again to her. Big mistake. She said "No really, my mum died a month ago". I nearly melted. It was awful.
2) Not me this time. Some guy and some other guy were having an argument in a classroom at school, when boy 2 said "your mum" to guy 1. guy 1 promptly screamed and threw a chair at guy 2's head, before running out. No-one knew why this happened, and thought the guy was overreacting until they found out that guy 1's mum had died in a tragic house fire 3 days beforehand.
Well.. it's up to jesus to do the judging eh?
