Names bring character and individuality. They allow you to decipher which Starbucks drink is yours in a crowded cafe or which phone number is yours on your best friend's speed dial. Names are a symbol of pride, tradition, and meaning, even if it's urban dictionary quality. AND (you might want to sit down for this next part) a name is a noun! I know, I know... riveting stuff. A name is usually the first thing you learn about a person but not "Skip." We met at happy hour after messaging on the app for a couple weeks. We conversed for 2 hours and then I made a joke with his name and his eyes darted to the left. Instantly I said, "you don't remember my name, do you?" Nervous as a kid caught looking at their classmate's test, he slowly said, "Jennifer?" Wow. Not only did this fool not know my name, the most simple thing about me, but he picked a common name to hopefully increase his odds. Well... at least I got a beer out of it. "Say my name, say my name. You're acting kinda shady; I'll never be your lady.... in your tinder game." I revamped this Destiny's Child song because we've all been there the you blank on someone's name that we should know. The side effects are: profusive sweating, eye shifting, and slight or utter embarrassment. Especially, depending on the person of interest(obviously not of much interest in their legal or nickname haha!). This person could be an old classmate, pay buddy, coworker, distant relative... or, my favorites are the people that remember you and you have NO recollection of their 3 to 11 digit noun literally designated as their identity. They could be your: dentist, best friend's ex, classmate from underwater basket weaving, , church organ player, or dare I say sister's best friend's cousin's roommate's dog mate's owner. This slip of memory is inconvenient amid overall awkward but not as awkward as if you forget the name of the person you're currently on a date with and low-key trying to bone. THAT is your cue four this Destiny's Child track and an impromptu date with someone who will never forget your name...MOMMMMMMMM Tonight's dessert features are pictures for you to name..... are you as sweet as mama told youyou were or so you have something in common with this.... 89-year-old in a 29-year-old body?
