When my mother died a couple of years ago, my nephew asked quite innocently if Uncle Ben was coming to the funeral. After a pause, several of us answered at once "Oh God, I hope not!" It seems no one had remembered to tell nephew that Uncle Ben had passed on a few years earlier. Ooops.

My mom didn't tell me and my brother when she went in to get her tubes tied. Dad picked us up after school and said, "Now we're going to go visit Mamma in the hospital!" Us: "WHUH?" A couple years later, Dad had to get cancerous cells removed from his upper lip. We only found out because the friend he was living with called my mother in hysterics over the hospital telling her there'd been "complications." Us: "WHUH?" Mom: "Oh, yeah, your dad's having surgery for the cancer on his face." In my case I don't think it's forgetfulness, though. My family's just cursed with bad editing skills.
