Blonde shining through ..

You know when you have one of those blonde moments .. or do you ?? I have them all the time .. and here is one example .. first a little history .. Matty .. is this guy that I play ball with and is like my homie .. our ball team's name is Team Nike .. I have the banking stuff for our team account .. okay now on with my story .. I get this phone call at work .. the girls that answers the phone says she THINKS it's Matt .. I get on the phone :

Mystery Man: "Hey Hol"
Holly : "MAAAAATTTYYYY" in my best homie voice "Whasssup "
Mystery Man: "Oh just packing up my house" ...

*I think to myself hmm ... didn't know he sold his house but didn't bother asking.. still not thinking this might not be Matt*

Mystery Man: " yeah and I found my visa .. it needs to be paid by Sept 3rd .. sorry it's so late .. can you do a cheque up"
Holly: "like out of the Team Nike account?"

*Still thinking it's actually Matt .. baseball player .. friend ...

Mystery Man: "What do you mean ..??"
Holly: "well did you buy something for the team or what?" Getting a little annoyed that he won't tell me why I'm writing the cheque!

Mystery Man: "Holly..?!"
Holly: "yeah .. "
Mystery Man: "This is Tyrone!!"

EXCELLENT !!!!

Well Tyrone is our mill manager here at work ... yeah feeling like crawling under my desk and starting the day over .. nothing like embarrassing yourself with co-workers .. but my question to Tyrone is why didn't he say something when I blurted out "Maaaatttty .. Whasssup!"

That is sooooooooo funny! I did something similar once. Have a client named Brenda (also my mom's name). We nicknamed my mom "Boomhower" because she can never get out what she is trying to say. So one day the receptionist says "Brenda is on the phone". Thinking it was my mom, I say "BOOMHOWER... HOW'S IT GOING?". I could have died when she said, this is Brenda ******. I feel ya on wanting to start the day over!!! You are hilarious!!!

Been there, done that...MANY times. I've even had the person identify themselves and I still think and call them by another name. Maybe I shouldn't watch tv when I talk on the phone.
