I didn't recognize him

January 30, 2021 9:20pm CST
It was afternoon and heading home with small pack of groceries when a strange person in his helmet poking around the gate and lock. Of course, I asked him politely who he is. I was surprised when he removed his helmet and turns out to be my brother. Normally he would visit along with his family but this time he was alone in his new bike. Looks like he'll be paying a visit often now, i hope.

I saw my mom and older sister across the street one time and didn't recognise them right away. I thought they looked familiar.

@Letranknight2015 Not my excuse. I had seen my mother the day before and my sister a week earlier. I have difficulty recognizing people if I see them somewhere other than where I normally see them.

@Letranknight2015 Usually it can be seen from the characteristics of the jacket.

Was it a new motor bike or new helmet that your brother has which caused you not to recognize him?

Yeah it was so new @allen0187 that it really caught me off guard. But I'm happy for him.

I also don't recognize people with their mask on these days. I think I know the person but I don't want to greet the wrong person. Is this the brother that gives you lots of gift?

Hello @prinzcy Nope, definitely not this one. But he gives from time to time. Not to mention he was a bit far away.
