The other day, when I found a lady grinning widely at me in
the Mall, the friendly person that I am, I graciously flashed my
million-dollar-smile in return!
The lady hugged me and said, “Oh Sweety! How you have
changed, my friend!”
“Sweety, You were short & plump & had straight hair when
we were in School, but now you are tall & thin & have curly hair…!”
Understanding that this certainly was a case of mistaken
identity, I clarified patiently, “Listen, My name is not Sweety… it is Anita!”
It was the lady’s turn to be shocked as she opened her eyes
wide with disbelief and exclaimed, “Sweety! You have changed your name also!!!”
Note: This story is based on a friend's real-life tale!
