Uh . . .
I was walking past Sprout Sandwich Shop in Kaimuki the other morning on my way back from the crack seed store. It was empty so I decided to pick up some lunch. I ordered the Crater which is an over-the-top super ono BLT sandwich. The cashier asked for my name. Some of you may know that I'll usually say "Sue" just because it's easier.
This time, because I was the only customer in there, I wasn't expecting her to ask, and I paused for a split second and ended up saying, "Uh, Sue."
That "Uh" made me feel guilty. I felt like because I said it, both the cashier and the other girl behind the counter knew that I was lying.
And so I said, "Sorry, I lied. My name is Jalna. I just thought that 'Sue' would be easier for you." They both laughed and said not to worry, that it happens all the time.
The cashier then told me a story about a guy who gave her the name "Sean". She said to him, "Oh, I like that name. How do you spell it?" The guy replied, "Uhhhhh . . ."

I just love this post! (as I was reading, I smiled...giggled...laughed and laughed more) so real!
lol...did you like your sandwich?
Hahahahaa so funny!! Did I tell you Randy's "Rick" story? He couldn't use rick one time because he knew someone else in line!! ;)
Thas funny! Nowadays, when people ask for my name, I say, "Uh... Aunty." Since I am old enough to be their mother, they just nod and we are all okay.
j: you sooooo honest. You know my first name and I've had to spell it and sound it out my entire life....so unless it's something where they have to know I just use my nick name since I had since high school. ITA with using a fake name....these days with all these weird spellings just use a pseudo name.-N
That's a great and funny story. Your intentions were good.
That's funny Sue.
LOL, Susan!
Shucks Kat . . . I shoulda took a picture of the sandwich. It was wonderful. I shared with Landon.
Funny, Les.
Hey I like that, Aunty.
For real yah, N.
Chet, I cracked up when the girl told me that "Sean" story.
Glad you liked it, Erick.
You know that if they asked me, it would be easy.
Hahahaha, Kay . . . next time I'll use your name.
