morbid mistake

when i was 18 i was taking college classes at night. there was a guy who wasn't in my classes but I saw him in the hallway a lot and i thought i knew his name.

over the week-end a guy with that name was killed in a car accident. i pictured this guy in my mind and felt so bad because he seemed like a real sweet bookworm. back in class on monday or tuesday (forget what schedule i had) i was sitting with some girls waiting for class to start when that bookworm stuck his head in the door smiling and said something to someone in the class.

i almost died.

i said to the girl next to me "that guy is DEAD!"

she smiled and said "he's not dead."

i think she knew i thought he was the guy that was killed.

i still get a creepy feeling when i think about it. i never looked at that bookworm the same again. i was even afraid of him.

has anything like that ever happened to you?

I went to the wrong funeral once. Turns out there were two funeral homes about a mile apart in a area of town I wasn't all that familiar with. I walked into the viewing room, got in line to pay my respects at the casket, and realized once I got there I had no idea who I was looking at. The grieving widow and her son were standing just to the left of the casket, so I had no choise but to speak to them as I moved away. I offered my condolences, and thankfully they didn't asked how I knew the deceased. I then milled around for ten minutes or so before leaving and going on to the correct funeral home.

That's funny! There were two girls I grew up with. They were inseparable and I thought I knew their names. Amber and Kim........ thing is I thought Kim was Amber and vice versa. So when I went to ask Amber out I called her Kim............ What an idiot........

We kept an earn with the ashes of a family member in our kitchen cupboard.

One summer, we swapped the house with another family for a couple of weeks.

The family did enjoy staying at our house.
The only comment was, "That tea in your cupboard tasted very strange".
