I have a funny story to tell, but I’ve been avoiding it because it happened at a very sad time.
The day my nephew died, all the living sisters were at the hospital. The boys made it later, for the funeral.
Anyways, given the circumstances, CPS had to come and do an investigation, but there wasn’t much to investigate so obviously it was just routine.
Anyways, while my sister was composing herself to talk to them one of the CPS workers asked us (Charlie and me) if that was our son “in there”, referring to the tall boy in the room. We assumed he meant Will, because he was the tallest young boy in the room so we said yes.
Well, he got a really strange look on his face and asked just how old we were, in kind of a shocked tone. We told him we were 31 and 33.
His eyes got big, he said “oh” and turned away.
I thought for a minute and realized there is ANOTHER tall BOY in the room, but it wasn’t OUR son. It was my nieces TWENTY year old boyfriend.
We cleared that up right away!!
I wonder what was going through that man’s head when he thought we had a baby at 11 and 13!
There is SOME resemblance, so I guess I understand the mistake!
