You look much better without it!

The thing is a) I have never, ever had a beard and b) I’m sure I know her from somewhere, but can’t for the life of me think where.

Maybe there is such a thing as a parallel universe? :D

In my case my mother was over-protective and until I went to school I met only my family’s friends and relatives. Consequently, I grew up with insufficient recognition skills. I have partially gained these skills over the years, but it has been a struggle! It also took me over fifty years to finally learn the art of having a chat!

Once I introduced myself to a woman who informed me that she knew who I was as my daughter had just spent the night with hers and we had met then – just a few days before!

She was walking across a car park when she could see someone waving in her direction. Embarrased that she could not make out who it was from a distance, she kept on, head down without stopping. She found out who it was a couple of hours later after an angry call from… her daughter!
