wrong name?

*sigh* I completely understand. You and I both have a specialness. Do not worry, we are quite intellegent, we just don't like to show it. For me, I have to count how long it's been since I was last in school to figure out my grade. So I stand there just saying "Ok, seventh, then eighth.. nineth.. yes! ok! It's tenth. No.. wait? seventh.. eighth.. nineth, tenth. Um. You know, I don't really know." And then my age... *sigh* "Ok, so my sister is two years younger than me, so I'm..." It's really weird. (and sad) They end up in fits of laughter. Though, if I'm talking with a guy, they get this smirk and smile and then give me a hug and walk me around with them, kind of like I don't know what I'm doing. (Meanwhile I'm just thinking, wow, you know this is the fifth guy to do this to me. I must smell nice, remember to get some more of that shampoo...) Hehehe, I live in my own little world...

It's even worse when you get it wrong. And they say something like "Really? You're 15?" And you have to say "No, wait. I'm 17" Or whatever. Then they give you a strange look. They don't give me a hug.

Hasn't happened to me yet, but legend has it that my dad called my mother Diane--at their wedding reception. My mother's name is Julie, and they are somehow going on 20 years now. Go figure.
