PHONE BOOK

Not long after moving here to Washington, mama received a small phone book from our fair city. It is full of coupons and such. It also has a place for phone numbers. Mama wrote a list of all of our friends names and numbers. She wrote only their first names not their last. Don't know what came over her when she went to write down papa's new phone numbers. She wrote down his FIRST and LAST name.

When papa saw what happened, he let her have it! "What's the matter?! Don't ya know who I am by now?! You wrote everyone else down by their first name, but with me, oh noooooo, you have to write the WHOLE NAME, FIRST AND LAST! Look here, you wrote Greg Putney! You wrote everyone else is like Maggi, Sandra, Allyn, Teri etc...... but me? Noooo, it's Greg Putney!"

Oh well, Que Sera Sera. I must have had a "senior moment". Needless to say, I'm writing a new phone book and having a good laugh as I do it.

Mama will never, ever, be able to live this one down for a long, long time to come.
