Two wonderful elderly people, both named John, have a conversation while I am waiting for a pharmacy order.
John The Customer, a man that I have known for thirty years greets John The Pharmacist on Dec 2ND with these words, "Happy Thanksgiving!", but then he immediately starts to correct himself with a Merry Christmas greeting and laughter.
John The Pharmacist cracks up with laughter, and interrupts him with, "You know, that's okay, I get Valentine's Day & Groundhog Day mixed up all the time."
I giggle and then wonder how eXactly you would confuse those two holidays, but then my head begins to hurt after a few minutes, so I stop. I guess I'm not old enough just yet to understand.
UPDATE 2011.12.05 - HAH!!! Sometimes I crack myself up laughing because I have unintentionally created homonyms totally purely by accident. I was reading down through my blog looking for typos, etc when I read the title of this blog post and it came out "Happy Jaundiced Days". I have no idea what a HJD would be, I just remember being very sick a very long time ago, no happy to it what-so-ever. No, that isn't completely true, I remember moving back to my parents place for a week or so, and making some short instrumental piano compositions during the recovery process.
