And another social faux pas
Oct. 31st, 2006 09:45 amYou may remember, from about this time last year, when AG33 had his first belt exam.
AG33 was tiny and adorably klutzy. The crowd had picked him out as an oh-how-cute favorite. And the couple next to me was commenting on his ineptitude. Only to be mortified when he turned and waved to me at the end of the exam. Clearly not expecting to be sitting next to the mother of the child they had been gently mocking.
Weeelllll...
The mother and I are friendly, but I didn't even remember her name til it came up in conversation last night. And she clearly doesn't remember my name, either. *snickers*
She loves to coo over Little Sister. So last night we were talking about Little Sister's name and what she was going to be called. The topic of her middle name, Sophia, came up. She asked if Little Sister could be called Sophia, and I said, Of course! But not Sophie, because Husband thinks that sounds like a cow.
Whereupon, this woman, said, "I know all about that. Because my first name is [CK's first name] and I would never go by that because then people would call me [CK's preferred nickname]! So I've always gone by my middle name."
I just grinned at her insanely and kept my mouth shut.
It's like a sitcom where the couple that is desitned to be together can't stop insulting each other. Not that I think we are destined to be together, or anything. But her son's name is the same as Husband's, she's a cute red head, and her husband is kinda cute, too. Hmmmmm.

He says it is "a gift of peace and joy."
