What's the family story that gets told at every gathering, the one you can never live down?

A natural way to answer

There's this one about me falling asleep in my dinner at a wedding. My aunt tells it every year, complete with sound effects, and the whole table falls about laughing. I've given up trying to defend myself, honestly.

Key phrases to use

• live it down — to make people forget about an embarrassing thing you did“I'll never live it down.”
