Saw one of my grandparents only 3/4 times in the last couple years
No idea who the other one is. Might be the same guy, college marriages can get a bit like Norfolk sometimes

It did take me a while to notice that the friend of a friend I'd not seen around all that much
was his ACTUAL brother who went to a different college, not his college brother who spent a lot of time in his room

One of mine never turned up
I forgot to get carnations (non-oxford people: carnations are traditionally worn for exams, white for the first, pink for the ones in the middle, red for the last), and my general response to being asked to help with some work by my physics kid was "I don't know it either!"

my kids were sweet
but I was under stress most of the year, and they did none of the same modules so I couldn't pass on work
