The phrase I hear every time I try to do anything these days

"But, wait . . . what was your maiden name?"

Registering Joseph for school. Calling the dentist. Church.

I did make it through the new faculty dinner without having to answer that, but that was probably because the people at the table weren't paying attention when someone asked Kevin about his father-in-law with the same last name.

On the bright side, people have been good about pronouncing my first name right.
