Misconstrued

Today, I went to a family reunion. I laughed at my uncle's Sylvester Stallone impression. Turns out he had a stroke a while back. FML

OP here. we didn't know my uncle that well he was one of the family members that dropped off the face of the earth. I came in at the wrong time when people were laughing so I thought he was doing an impression this is both a FML and a YDI

I can help you solve this problem in 3 easy steps. 1) Place bag over head. 2) Crawl into dark corner. 3) Stay there forever.

well for future reference before anymore family functions it'd be a good idea to get an update on all relatives attending so no more embarrassing incidents

It can be hard with big families. My mom and dad both had several brothers and sisters. They live all over the country, and, consequently, I have never even met half of my cousins and have only met two of my uncles once.

Hopefully your uncle has a sense of humour. Perhaps saying something like "but you're better looking" would've helped save the moment. No?

Because not all families are close-knit. Not all live in the same town, or even the same state, and even those who do set up their own lives and only talk to each other at functions like these. It happens. I was recently floored to see my cousin, who I babysat when I was a teenager and he a toddler, now getting his driver's license. Time passes without even realizing it.
