conversation I realized they confused the punchline of this joke with a personal story I told them about my childhood. I let it slide bc I didn’t want to ruin the positive energy we were having, especially after not seeing each other for so long....

Once you’re explaining a joke, it’s no longer funny. I’d just let it sit like the wafting but dissipating fart that it probably seemed like.

@BamPow the joke has nothing to do with my childhood story. They are two different ideas. The heaviness of my childhood shouldn’t be taken lightly so I don’t want it to be seen as the punchline of a joke and that’s why it’s bothering me. I want to be remembered correctly.

@MissNoahLenFoxx In that case, you should clarify it if it’s bothering you, and you want to set the record straight. Do whatever you have to do to feel better about the situation.

If there’s no other way for you to put the matter to rest within yourself, I’d bring it up when you next see them but in a casual way. Like, “I know this may sound silly to you but remember that joke we talked about the last time we met……”

Keep in mind though, they might feel that your bringing it up again could mean that the joke actually does have does have something to do with your childhood story. Even if it’s a false impression, it’s still possible.
