My Mom’s birthday is tomorrow. As such, I told Dad that I would order her some flowers from the two of us. No biggie.
I call the florist this morning. Having had some mixed results from ordering flowers somewhat blindly from the internet, I decided that it might be better to place the order over the phone. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Hi, yes, I’d like to place an order for delivery.
FlowerGuy: Ok, who will be the recipient of the order?
Me: Judy Devereaux. That’s D-E-V-E-R-E-A-U-X.
FlowerGuy: I believe that person just passed away.
Me: Uh, I hope not. These are for my Mom’s birthday tomorrrow.
FlowerGuy: *back peddles* I’m sorry. The name sounds like another funeral we have.
… at the end of placing the order…
FlowerGuy: Tell your mom ‘Happy Birthday’ for me.
Me: Uh, yea, thanks.
*smacks head with palm of hand*
