I went to a birthday party last night and had more than my fair share of drinks. I went home totally rubber-legged to **mrs.kidneyfailure** who was sleeping peacefully. At one point in the night, after I got up to take a piss, I got into bed with my mother-in-law thinking it was my own bed. I cuddled up to her and put my arm around her (thinking she was my wife, of course) until she said, “what are you doing?” and I realized what the hell was going on. It was extremely embarrassing. The two of them have been making fun of me all morning.

OK, that made me laugh. I hardly ever drink enough to do that anymore, but back in the day…

It could have been _much_ worse. She could have thought you were her husband.

I think I read a story like this online somewhere…the ending was a bit different though.
