It was a plushy. She keeps it in her car (10+ years) and tells people my brother gave me syphilis.

    A friend from uni gave the exact same plushy to me and that fact he “gave me syphilis” became kind of a running gag.

    A year later the younger brother of another guy from our friend group came to town. The first time we hang out together we talked about me recently moving and someone asked if I was able to properly set in with my syphilis and all the other stuff and little brothers face just started to crumble. The conversation took on for another few minutes until he looked so weirded out and confused and someone finally realized he’s not in on the joke and honestly started to think I have a very persistent case of syphilis given to me by someone from this friend group and everyone else being totally okay and normal about it.

    This was the first and last time I saw that guy. I’ll forever remain syphilis girl for him and I don’t know how to feel about this
