Why don't people know my name
Okay, so growing up my mom could never remember our names so she would always yell all the children's name and eventually she would get to the right kids name. Mark, Scott, Craig why did you do it? The order of names would change and so would the thing we did wrong but my mom would always call us all by the wrong name. The worse for me is when she called me by my little brothers name Scott. I thought that had ended now that we were adults and in different cities. But now it is not just my family. My neighbor called me Scott the other day. I just about died. She has done it before but I finally decided to write about it. What are the odds she would forget my name and call me by my brothers name. Our names must be naturally linked. Anyway, I found it interesting.

It's because your name doesn't really suit you. No offense to your parents (really), but they got it all wrong. I mean, why do you think I have been calling you Hoss for 12 years?
My mom used to do the same thing. I was JenniferChristyJamieMaury for my entire childhood. I was fine with that, but I hated being called by one of my brother's names, or even worse: one of the dogs. It happened. Now I call my nieces and nephews by my dog's name all of the time. Oh well.
Yeah, I had to make a conscious effort to call you "Craig." Now it comes easily (most of the time), but I always feel the need to qualify your name if I'm talking about you to the hubby. "My friend, Craig--you know, Hoss," and he always knows who I'm talking about before I qualify.
Does Scott get called Craig? Maybe there was a cosmic name mishap and your names were switched.
