Dumb MC Moment be like: "Oh, the place that I plan on sneaking into are people who are familiar with my appearance and have seen me. Instead of not wearing the exact same clothes and changing my clothing, I'll wear the EXACT same thing instead so they can recognize me somehow even if they didn't see my face, and while I'm at it, I'll act suspicious while looking familiar to them, it will definitely not get me in trouble."
Had you worn a different outfit, that uncle wouldn't have even recognized you to begin with, tsk!
