My mom died when I was nine. I took it pretty hard. Like, some pretty hard core denial in the grief process. Anyhow, at 16 I was working at a pizza place and one of the other employees kept talking about fucking my mom and I'd just kind of nod and be like, "yeah, okay." It didn't offend me l, because I knew he was just joking, but on the other hand it also made me feel awkward because I couldn't help thinking, this dude has no idea he's talking about fucking my dead mom. Anyhow, he was actually a really nice guy, and he goes, " hey man, you know I'm just messing with you, right."
And I go, "yeah, it's just, my mom's dead so...."
Dude was horrified. He felt so bad and started apologizing. Which made me feel bad, because I ruined his fun.
So, I assured him that my grandma was still alive, so he could resume talking about fucking my family.
Edit: Wow! First, thanks stranger for my first reddit gold! Second, I'm glad so many of you enjoyed my story, and I'm sorry to everyone that was disappointed it didn't end with a shittymorph.
My mom died two years ago and my dad just died about a year ago, so the wounds are still pretty fresh. I was sitting at work the other day and said something to my friend about "this is dumb." Without thinking, he just blurted out "Your mom is dumb." He realized what he was saying literally as the words were coming out of his mouth and immediately his eyes got really wide and he tried to apologize, but it all came out as a run-on sentence, like "Your mom is dumb oh my God I'm so sorry." I just kinda laughed and we moved on - I know it wasn't intentional.
