Soccer Mom

Soccer Mom

Ok, how about this:

While walking with some friends, one of them points out a pregnant woman with a soccer ball drawn on her t-shirt (yes, the one in the photo above).

I put the picture online, because I find it interesting. The following day I get an email from my sister in-law:
(names changed to protect the innocent)

> Jim!

> This is bizarre. Jane, who works with me showed me this pic today. Its of her
> daughter’s best friend. So, I know this soccer mom (she was at school with
> me, as was her husband, Jake, for whom I have a very soft spot) and then I
> noticed that the tag seemed rather familiar. And you took the pic.
>
>
> Insane how small this town is…
>
> Xxx s

So now the relationship between us is:
I am the Soccer Mom’s best friend’s Mother’s Colleague’s brother in-law

A little complex, but fathomable.

A bit later I get another email from my sister in-law:


> Yup, Suzy and Vicki are sisters 🙂

So now Relationship is:
I am Soccer Mom’s Sister’s ex-house-mate.

Did anyone else feel the world just get a little smaller?
