slightly similar to wbm's dead parents talei was round a friends house and there were some people there i knew vaguely. as i left, for some reason i said 'have a good mother's day' to the room (as the hallmark holiday was a couple of days away). immediately on saying this i realised one of the people there had lost their mother unexpectedly and at a fairly young young age only a few days previously.
many years ago when my sister was a toddler she was in the back seat of the car next to a rather hirsute female family friend. so she very loudly and clearly asked 'mummy, why does helen have a moustache?'
(edit) spookily wbm's alcoholic story has just reminded me that the other evening while having dinner i was banging on about this alcoholic twat who used to drink in a pub i worked at and what a cunt he was. it was some time before i remembered that my housemate's brother is a recovering alky.
