Dear anonymous giftgiver,

My mom basically said the same thing to me when I was 7 in 1992 and she was helping her friend get ready for a drag show. “You know how you like boys? Well sometimes boys like boys and girls like girls, and sometimes those boys like to wear dresses and sing Diana Ross songs.” I was like, “Cool, can I do Perry’s…

OMG YES! I was at my sister in law’s recently and we were looking through a bridal magazine with her daughters. One of the photographs included 2 brides getting married. One of her kids (age 4) asked why there were 2 brides in that picture. My SiL responded “well you know how ‘so-and-so in your class has 2 mommies?’…

Someone did even better:

NBC has a multicolored logo? How sad that all of you noticed that. I wouldn’t know, of course, since I don’t see color. <preens>

Some viewers simply mocked the angry but mistaken man.

3 years ago now i had an epic hookup at a music festival, not a wedding, or else i’d be shouting that story to the heavens in this thread. (Spoiler: he used to be a BDSM escort with his ex-wife in Germany. He knew THINGS.) Anyway, i had to walk home a mile in Montreal on a Sunday morning through Mont Royal Park in a…

I’m at a singles table of three women and eight men, I’m not feeling particularly interested in any of them, but then one of them remarks to my friend that he works in his…

This wasn’t “crazy” but it did give me a giggle. My California friend married a guy from the UK so he had a lot of English friends and family in town. I ended up going back to the room with one of the buddies and as we were in bed, nearly naked, obviously headed to bonetown he says, apropos of nothing “I went to…

THIS IS MY TIME TO SHINE.

I stayed in a hotel room w two other girls who ended up staying elsewhere to bang some dudes in bow ties and I slept alone in the room by myself and smoke a J while I watched Law and Order reruns at 4am.

How about a hook-up that took place at my wedding? My then-19-year-old brother who was serving as an usher executed a flawless seek-and-destroy on my husband’s 27-year-old cousin, who was at the time sobbing from a combination of drinking too much and not getting enough attention. He was seated near her at the young…
