And another thing?
“Oh is this Faith?” when I answer the phone.
Every single time I answer the house phone, the person calling thinks I’m either Del or Dessa. NEVER MYSELF. I mean, I know I sound younger on the phone, but, 10 years younger? EVERY SINGLE TIME? No one EVER goes, “Oh, Faith is it?”
I mean, how can it be, that for my entire life, people can’t tell it’s me? Or at least someone who is more than 14 years old? People who have talked to me on the phone before, you tell me!!
Just this week, Auntie Jem called from Australia and said (once she’d guessed Dessa then Del then found it was me) “This is Faith? You sound like a baby!”
BABIES DON’T TALK.
Like me at least.
And MY VERY OWN SISTER FLESH AND BLOOD WHO HAS BEEN HEARING MY VOICE FOR HER ENTIRE LIFE THAT IS 14 YEARS LONG BUT ABOUT TO BE CUT SHORT JUST CALLED AND SAID, “DESSA?”
I pretty much roared NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
p/s She just called again and took care to say “JIE?”
HA!
