No but I did get asked if I remembered when the dead cat was a puppy.... funnily enough the only time she could remember my name was when I was in trouble when I'd get every last syllable of both Christian names and surname "Mithalwen Pilgrim Soul, what do you think you are doing?".
The rest of the time she'd use my elder sister's name then "err...darling" as if she were thinking "I know we gave the other one a name, what was it?".
I wouldn't have minded so much but it took them so long apparently to choose my names that you would have thought they would have remembered. Our old neighbour said she gave up asking what they were going to call me and I was registered about as late as you can be without breaking the law - and after life saving surgery... parents eh?
