I was at a funeral for my wife’s great uncle. Sitting in front of us were his grandchildren and my mother-in-law recognized one of the boys and said, “I remember you. I was at your bris”
“Ah… awkward…”, he replied.
I tried to lighten the moment by saying, “You don’t normally hear that at a funeral”, though I thought his response was better than mine.
Now I shared this story with my co-worker and he said, “You know, it would have been more appropriate to say, ‘I remember when you were born'”
“But then, what would have been the appropriate thing to say to something that is inappropriate? ‘Oh yeah! It healed up fine. Do you wanna see?'”
