Names Are All Relative

(My mother’s family is quite large, and we keep in touch with many distant family members as well, increasing the pool of names. A cousin of mine has been married for several years and it is still an entertaining pastime for the rest of us to test her husband on everyone’s names. For this particular wedding, one of my three sisters was in Italy.)

Cousin-in-law: “So where’s your sister?”

Me: “Which one?”

(My other two sisters are sitting at the table directly behind him.)

Cousin-in-law: “…the one that isn’t here.”

Me: “Not good enough.”

Cousin-in-law: “Please don’t do this to me.”
