#19: Not Good With Names
On the one hand, I do totally get getting a kid’s name wrong. I come from a big family, and when you have a lot of siblings, you just get accustomed to your parents calling you the wrong name a lot (or doing that thing where they have to rapidly go through each of the children’s names in order until they find the right one).
On the other hand, it’s hilarious that her dad got her name right but then managed to misspell it so badly that it would change the pronunciation. I mean, buddy, if that was her name, don’t you think you’d have been pronouncing it differently for the last 20 years? On another other hand, the fact that he said, “Don’t tell your mom” while he was on the phone with the mom is just the most delightful ending to this story.
