Strange moments in everyday life. Went out to supper with my dad, sisters, step-mother (they are divorced now, but family is strange), and some other people. One of the other people knocked my new OBEV (to me, rummage sale score; good condistion, $.25) off the counter.
She said, "I think I knocked something down," I said, "Oh, that was my book."
"Oh, you read," in tone much as one might comment that a dog spoke. It was bizarre.
Then she refused to believe I was my sister's brother. When I said I was her brother I got a dismissive hand-wave, and, "Oh yes, I KNOW all the family."
She insisted on thinking I was someone from UT, whom my sister was dating: Much attempt at inquisition. I think this is because my sister has a boyfriend, and she was trying to find out, from me, how I had supplanted him.
Oi.
