Here's a horrible, horrible story:
I was about 10-11 I think. I was with my parents visiting relatvies (specifically my mothers sister, or my aunt) whom we rarely see. My cousin at the time was maybe just over a year old if that, but he was a riot. I was having a blast playing with him for the past few days. So it's eveningsih and he's sitting in his mother's lab. I'm sitting across the room watching tv or whatever.
He looks at me and does something from his mother's lab and I decide I should go over there and play with him. So I get up and walk over and sit right next to my aunt on the ottoman that was next to her chair. She gives me the DEATH look like what the HELL do you think you're doing. I, being confused am not sure what's going on. Then my aunt utters the pure words of horror. To my young cousin she says:
"I think this side is empty do you want to switch?"
Or something to that effect.
DEAR GOD. She was breastfeeding. And from the look I got, it was very much a "stop trying to sneak a peak you little pervert" look. I paniced didn't know what to do, and honestly I can't remember if I moved from my spot immediatly or stayed there pretending like I had moved for some other reason.
To this day I still feel a certain amount of awkwardness when I'm around her, 12 years later, as if she's never forgotten that one time she thinks I tried to sneak a peak but when I was really ignorant to the whole situation. I swear someday I'm going to be fed up with it and blurt it all out. Maybe never. Maybe that one event is why my whole mother's side of the family seems to not like me.
WORST. TRIP. EVER.
