Troy thinks this post will traumatize our daughter someday, and since I disagree, here it is.
Troy had been traveling a lot as of late and we have not had a lot of time together. He has been especially jet lagged since coming back from China last week.
So...to find a little quality time together Troy took me out to dinner tonight. It was a great meal and we had a lovely time. The highlight of the evening, however, was not my meal, but this conversation Troy had with the waitress.
Troy: I didn't catch your name.
Waitress: My name is Katie.
Troy: Oh! That's out daughter's name.
Waitress: That's neat.
Troy: Is Katie short for something?
Waitress: Yes. My name is Katherine.
Troy: Oh! That's our daughter's name!
Waitress: Really?
Troy: Yes! How do you spell that?
Waitress: K - A - T - H - R - I - N - E
Troy: That's just how we spell our daughter's name!
At this point, Troy turns to me and says, "That's how we spell it, right?"
And I say, "Honey, I don't know how to break this to you, but that's NOT our daughter's name."
Troy: WHAT?
Me: Uh. Sweetheart. Her name is Katelyn.
Yeah. Seriously. Forgot our child's name.
I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard.
Feel free to give him a hard time.

Awesome! Picture me pointing and laughing! Mr. I want 12 kids, but can't remember my 6th kid's name! LOLOLOL!!!
Ha-infininity. That one should keep a smile on my face all day.
LOL! Glen just got from China 2 weeks ago and I'm sure he can totally relate to how confusing jet lag can be!
If you ask me that would seal the deal: no more kids for you buddy until you can remember all the ones you have! Hahahaha.
Bwahahaha, I like Emily Merchant's comment - no more until you can memorize the current children's names!
Dear Denise,
That story is the best birthday present I've had so far.
I am going to send this entry to Drew as well.
TOO DANG FUNNY.
hahahahaha...too funny!!!
Chris is wondering if he at least got her number?
Denise maybe you should print him a cheat sheet to keep in his wallet. Just for times like this.
LOL! Oh my.
Our Kate is Katherine, after my mom (who goes by Kathey).
That. is. so. funny!
I was tired, what can I say?!?
Funniest thing I've read in a while!
Thanks for the good laugh!
