Could have been disastrous.My best friends mum died when she was 18, and then 18 months ago her dad and stepmum were killed in a car accident.
Boyf and I were over at their house one night, and they'd had a few joints and I was getting a few beers in. We got onto the subject of families and how all my family are 6,000 miles away and what a bunch of weirdos we are.
My friend says "Well all my family are..." and takes a puff of her cigarette, at which point I finish her sentence with "dead".
Her husband cringed, my boyfriend cringed. Me and her collapsed in hysterical laughter! Of course I apologised afterwards but she still finds it funny.
