Unfiltered Story #292259

I have a pair of cousins, brother and sister, whose last name can also be used to describe skin color. For the purposes of the story, let’s say it’s Brown.

By a funny coincidence, both the female cousin and the male cousin’s wife are currently expecting a baby. My mother chose to tell me this in the following manner:

“Both your Brown cousins are pregnant!”

After I got done stifling a helpless fit of snickering, I suggested she find a different way to phrase this. She hadn’t even realized the connotations and was mildly horrified, but also amused.
