Embarrassing forgetful moment!

[itsjustc]

Steve and I went to see his family as they all gather together on Boxing day. His family like mine are very close, but Steve isn't really one for family socialising so we haven't seen everyone together in one place since last Boxing day.

Steve's sister has 7 boys and 1 girl. The youngest will be 16 in two weeks time. Steve is rubbish at remembering

Oh, dear, that sort of backfired. You'd better make a list and check it twice for next year! :D

I'm seeing the family on the 12th jan. I will deffo remember his name on that night.

Good luck! :D Perhaps you could make flash cards for Steve!

Only possible save I can think of, and I'm not having to make it up on the spot like you would have had to, is: "You are my favorite, of course!"

[itsjustc]

Lol! that's brill!

to be fair, if i knew someone with eight bloody children (family or not), i wouldn't be too arsed to remember names either.

I think thats what Steve thinks tbh! Lol! But he's just great at being the funny uncle so he gets away with it all the time!

[rockingthemike]

We all have these moments.

That's good to know! I'm seeing them all again on the 12th Jan for a family party. I'll definitely remember his name on that night.

Oh dear! I should think they've all done it themselves though, so I wouldn't worry too much over it.

When I was younger, my Grandad had a habit of calling me by my aunt's name. She's 4 years older than me and we're both very darked haired.

Yes. Actually, my sister and I both used to automatically answer to a mixture of both our names that our mom always accidently called us!
