I (26F) was at a friend’s house for dinner. Her baby is about 8 months old. We were eating takeout, and I picked up a chopstick, pointed it dramatically at the baby, and yelled “Avada Kedavra!” in a fake wizard voice because I’m a huge Harry Potter fan.

The baby just stared at me and everyone else laughed except my friend, who got really upset and said it was inappropriate to joke about killing a baby.

I apologized immediately, but she still hasn’t accepted my apology and is acting pretty cold toward me. Now I’m wondering if I did something genuinely awful and just didn’t realize it, or if she’s overreacting.

Update:

I’ve read through the comments and I accept that most people think I was wrong. I did apologize.

That said, I still think my friend is taking this way too seriously and needs to learn to take a joke. I waved a chopstick at a baby and made a Harry Potter reference. I wasn’t exactly performing dark magic in her living room.

The next time I see little Timmy, he’s catching another Avada Kedavra from me.

Are there any romance movies with good makeover scenes?

I’m an older undergraduate student (26F) and I feel really insecure that I’m older than all my tutors. Has anyone else had this problem and how do you get over it?

My cute coworker accidentally bumped my forehead with his elbow and started patting it, checking if I was okay and apologising. I’m certain I was as red as a tomato and now I think he knows I have a crush on him.

AIW for waving a chopstick at my friend’s baby and yelling “Avada Kedavra” as a joke?
