She's not my wife, she's my sister!

[Richmondbread]

Have you ever had the problem where you have to explain to people that your sister is not your wife? I guess it's unusual these days- but my sis and I do a lot of things together. We have dinner out and movie night, get groceries. She tells me what to buy usually and I do things for her. This does feel more like married couple, but we are just close that's all


For example, the other day at the grocery store, I wasn't wearing my glasses and went over to this blondish woman and her buggy and put something in it. Then I realized it wasn't mine and said "Oh, I'm sorry". She smiled and said "Wrong wife?" I was shopping with my sister and she thought she was my wife. No, she's just my sister. Why is it wrong for a brother and sister to do things together? Even in the South, people seem to frown upon that.
I think our culture has become very perverted.

After a certain age, people expect one to be in a relationship or married. That is why, if your hanging out with your sister (especially if your facial features for example, aren't much alike with hers) most will assume she's your partner.

I don't look much like my older brother and some people don't realize we are siblings. But there has been only one instance where we've been asked if we are together. Some years ago, we were both walking to a park, outside of the town and on the edge of the road there was a prostitute. She looked at my brother and then asked if we are together .

In Amerika when you see two people of different gender and similar age, %99.999999 they are a couple. And if youre from unfortunate %0.000001, sorry but nobody cares about you.

It could be much worse meade. Much worse. Imagine if you were out doing something with your brother and people assumed you were a couple.

I thought it was relatively common for brother and sister to get married in the South?

No, that's your cousin!

Not my brother but my dad. When my dad was still alive, I often accompanied him to appointments because his English was terrible. He always looked pretty young for his age, and he didn't look like my dad at first glance. He was definitely a couple of shades darker and many people's first impression would be that he was a different ethnicity (he was not - plus I feel like I took after him more than my mom). I had to cringe quite a few times at "we're ready for you, Mr. and Mrs. (last name)" or something similar. Bleh. Like I know they didn't know any better and weren't trying to gross me out, but it felt gross anyway.

I don't think it's wrong to be close to your sister as an adult, but I guess since most people assume you'll be married by your age, and most people grow apart from their siblings as they start their own families, it's a normal assumption to make.

Wait! What?
