Mom’s Favorite
Whenever I’m around my family I become Jen-Kris and my sister is Kris-Jen. My mom will look right at us, and inevitably say the wrong sister’s name.
Mom: I don’t know why I do that.
Jen: It’s understandable.
Mom: But I clearly know both your names.
Jen: What happens is there’s a list in your head of your favorite people, and…
Kristin: I’m not one of them?
Jen: Noooo. That’s not what I meant!
Kristin: I’m at the bottom?
Jen: I just mean there’s a list of people
Kristin: Her favorite people.
Jen: …
Kristin: You can try, but there’s no way out of this
She wasn’t at a loss for words, but it’s hard to speak when you’re laughing and your foot is that far in your mouth. ;)
Holidays are joyous.

Leah and I are usually “Leaizabeth”, unless Mom calls us by the dogs’ names.
