Awkward Moments and Unexpected Laughter (duplicated)

My ex-boyfriend's mom had her eye make-up tattooed on, and sent her kids

(who lived with her at the time) to the store for a couple of things. It wasn't until

my ex and his brother were in the check-out line, receiving funny looks from the clerk,

that he realized that they were two lone men buying nothing but cucumbers and vaseline (which

his mom wanted to soothe the swelling from her eyes). My ex panics and blurts out,

"No, it's okay, he's my brother!" while gesturing to his brother.

They received major ಠ_ಠ faces. He just stopped talking, figured there was

nothing he could do to salvage the situation, and just accepted the judgment.
