Wait, what?

lonescorpion accompanied my parents and me to a small tree-trimming gathering at our neighbor's house. It was nice, there was wine and cheese and enough ornaments on that tree that I'm surprised it didn't collapse under its own weight, but it also contained our host's mother.

We shook hands, and then I had the bad judgement to introduce lonescorpion with "And this is Mikki--"

To which she happily responded "Seiber! Well done!"

After that I was careful to go with "This is my friend, Mikki." Although even if we had been dating that was a seriously bizarre thing to say.

O_O Clearly one of you has inherited Koi's "appear to be dating anyone you stand next to" curse! Although which one, I'm not sure... you'll both have to stand next to people in the presence of randomly selected observers, and test it...

Or have both of them stand next to Koi and see if the curse intensifies!

I dunno. I don't think anyone's ever assumed I was dating Mikki ...

Admittedly, a return from foreign climes with an attractive male acquaintance can be interpreted in such ways. Especially by older women with an eye to people making grandchildren.

The worst of that one was when I was having dinner with one of my parents :: wince ::

Ohhhh dear.

We have the same eyebrows and everything!

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Eyebrows make you romantically compatible? Makes as much sense as altmodes...

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

No, I mean I very clearly inherited my eyes and eyebrows from the parent I was with.

*goes back and rereads that*

You mean you were mistaken for your parent's paramour?

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what I said.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

That's scary.

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Doubly so, given that the barmaid in question knew my father quite well and had met me several times before!

Perhaps someone had been sampling the wares a bit too much that night.

It was lunchtime.
