Last year my boss asked what I did over the weekend and I said "took my little guy to the park" I was talking about my dog. Small dog. Little guy
She said "asw how old is he" I said he's 4, because he is. She said "that's such a fun age" and I go "yeah he's got a lot of energy"
Realizing like 2 week later she thought I had a son
Because she mentioned something like "must be hard balancing work with a 4 year old" and I just said " yeah" because how do you even correct that!!
It's been like almost a year now, my son is 5 according to the timeline. She asks about him sometimes and I just go " he's good" and try to change the subject. I've never said a name so at least there is that....
Performance review last month she said i " handled the workload well considering my responsibilites at home" and I just said thank you
I don't know what happens when she eventually wants to see a picture or asks his name. I'm in too deep. I've considered just getting a real kid at this point
TL;DR said "little guy" meaning my dog. Boss thinks I have a son.
