Me: So co-worker, did you have a good birthday weekend?
Co-worker: Girrrl, I can't even remember what happened.
Me: Oh that sounds like a fun night.
Co-worker: No, no I woke up and was bruised and didn't know what happened, and my ass was sore, why would my ass be hurting? Anyway, had to get the plan B pill cause you know I don't want more kids.
Me: (laughs uncomfortably) oh wow.

Mom: I can't believe you shaved your cat.
Me: Mom, I told you I was going to shave the cat, why didn't you believe me?
Mom: I thought you were just being your normal sick self.
Me: What?
Mom: I didn't think you meant your cat.
Me: Oh god.

At Pete's Market:
Stranger: Is that sausage spicy?
Me (looking around to see if she was talking to me): ummmm, yeah.
Stranger: So, you like your meat spicy?
Me: hmmmmm....
Question of the day:
Love the conversation with your Mom...hilarious.
ReplyDeleteTake it from someone who knows, it is incredibly hard to get people to call you by a different name. I once decided to go by Amanda at a new job. I met a really dear friend of mine at that job. I since decided I really am more "Mandy" than "Amanda" and my family always calls me "mandy"...she still insists, "No, You are Amanda" and always will be. lol...I have to remember when calling and leaving a message for her to say, "this is "Amanda" not "mandy"...ugh...very confusing!
Well, I'll start shall I Rheana? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to name meanings, I sometimes think I'm much more of a Battle Maiden (first name) than a Beloved gift of God (second name). I'd never get my father to call me by my first name though; and he'd flay me if I decided to drop my Welsh name!
I have conversations like these, but mostly with my 8yo daughter. You have to get up *really* early in the morning to stay even one step ahead of her - and she's BLONDE!!!!
Mandy - Yeah I figured my battle would be something like that.
ReplyDeleteJubulani- Rheana is Welsh for Nymph! hahaha!
That first convo is hilariously awkward.
ReplyDeleteBasically just tell people what name to call you and they will. Okay, not really. But, some will. Also, do you want it pronounced correctly? Cause that might be asking too much. LOL ;-)
I'll call you Rheana if that's what you prefer. Just give me the word :-) The 1st conversation is jaw dropping. I was speechless at "...my ass was sore..." I mean, you just don't go telling people that, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat is one weird co-worker you have there....
ReplyDeleteI think Rheana is a lovely name...use it
You mom is funny in a WOW -MOM, SERIOUSLY kind of way
