You'll know me by the drink in my hand...

I've mentioned my friend, Mrs. Cheech, before. She was in my wedding party and is my oldest friend. After I graduated from college and returned to my home state, I not only kept up my friendship with Mrs. Cheech, but became friends with her two older brothers.

One of Mrs. Cheech's older brothers used to tease me by introducing me to people as, "This is my sister's friend, KAT" even though he and I were friends in our own right. I saw him as a party this weekend and he said the same thing, just to bust my chops. So I feigned annoyance, then explained to the Pretend Husband how the older bro used to do that to me all.the.time.

Then the older bro said, "Yeah, the other thing we used to say was, 'Oh, KAT's coming to the party? Better get some more alcohol!'"

And if that wasn't bad enough, another friend told the story about how, shortly after a group of us went out for drinks and dinner about 10 years ago, he ran into my dad and said, "Hi, KAT's dad. I just saw KAT the other night." My dad's response: "Was it in a bar?"

Apparently, I had quite the reputation in my younger days (and didn't even know it!)

Um, did I miss something? How is he busting your chops by introducing you as his sister's friend?

I saw one of my classmate's sisters sitting on the bench outside of a bar drunk as could be. I then heard her on the phone with her brother saying "mom had to pick kme up off the bathroom floor" Her mom was drunk too. The weird part, her mom was my art teacher.

Husband's {!} friend's all like to buy me drinks because I am hilarious when I'm drunk. ;-)

Soda & Candy: I added a sentence that hopefully clears it up. It's silly, I admit...

Sam_I_Am: Husband! Yay! And yes, it's weird how alcohol leads to so many funny/embarrassing scenarios, isn't it? I'm basically a PSA for the younger generation about your actions catching up with you later in life!
