Confused identities

I went to a gig the other day. I ran into someone I knew and started talking. He was trying to place where he knew me from and asked:

Are you the one whose house we went to that time where we all were drunk and ended up at an after party at yours?

Was there a small baby there? If not, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of someone else with the same name.

Perhaps that statement could have been true if it were more like Did we go to your house when we were all tuckered out after the playground and we ended up at yours drinking tea while the kids napped?
Someone else pointed out we'd met at a vegetarian restaurant and I was the one spending the whole time trying to feed and contain my daughter.

Also slightly related, I've discovered I still have the new parent stand-and-sway. Which does not come across as remotely inappropriate when watching a band play.
