Have you ever been mistaken for someone else? ——— sobbing i was mistaken for my mother before at the hospital. it was just me, dad and my brother (who had a stomach bug) and the nurse waddled in, looked at me and said "and are you [brother]'s mother? ........... oh dear no, you look a bit young" WHAT'S EVEN WORST IS THAT my dad recently had go to the hospital and my mum joined him because he needed a relative on standby. the nurse asked if she was my dad's DAUGHTER.
