Yesterday, October 1st, was Bonnie's (my roommate) birthday. Happy birthday Bonnie! Friends and family had been calling her periodically all day to wish her a happy one. One such call was quite memorable:
It's later in the evening, around 8:30. I'm watching "Heroes" (a study break, I swear!) while Bonnie's on my computer catching up on "Grey's Anatomy" with headphones on (long story, but in short we're both out late on Thursdays and have to miss our favorite shows...thank you online videos!) The phone rings and of course I pick it up. This is what I hear:
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Bonnie, happy birthday to you!" Beautiful harmony, but all for the wrong person! No preface of "hello" or anything! I try to squeak out that I'm not Bonnie, but to no avail. The song ends, and I manage to say that I am in fact not Bonnie but will put her on shortly. On the other end, I hear a man's voice (turns out it's Jeffrey's, Bonnie's fiance, dad) say "I don't think that's Bonnie" while the woman (his wife) says, "No, I think it is." Shortly thereafter, I hand the phone to Bonnie and proceed to laugh very merrily. She told me later they said I should save that song for whenever my birthday really is (Dec 28). That was so sweet of them, and it's certainly a call I won't forget soon. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Green!!
