Let it be said I am not the most observant person in the world. If I see someone maybe two or three times a year and never talk to them or really get a good _look_ at them, odds are I might not recognize said person. Let it also be said that my immediate family _should_ know this by now.
That being said, my brother's wife's dad came by yesterday to drop things off, and I didn't recognize him. That in itself isn't really _terrible_; I don't see the guy often and don't talk to him. What _is_ bad is that my brother started crap with my mom over it saying "Did you know Susan slammed the door in [his wife]'s dad's face?"
I did no such thing. After recognizing he was someone who did know mom (still didn't get exactly _who_, but...), I took what he dropped off inside and shut the door normally, still trying to figure out just who the heck he was. Mom told _him_ off with something about taking his wife's side over his sister's and went outside until he left with his kids.
What gets me is that (a) it was blown out of proportion, and (b) that he takes his hungry, hungry hippo wife's* blown-out-of-proportion side without taking into account my own side. >_<
(* - The ironic thing about this is that despite that his wife is 3 times as heavy as I'll _EVER_ be, he makes cracks about _me_ having a "fat ass". No, I don't like my brother much to begin with. I love him, yes, but that doesn't mean I _like_ him.)
