Amelia Needs to Remember That She is Probably Not Related to You
Written on June 27, 2008 at 2:07 pm, by Amelia
A few minutes ago I answered the phone, and the caller asked if Lain was available. Typical fare.
Atypical: he also sounded exactly like my cousin, who periodically graces The Nest’s telephone with his unique and sonorous voice.
So naturally my response was, “Unfortunately, you just missed Lain. (pause) Am I related to you?!?”
I am not very smart.
Unsurprisingly, it was not in fact my cousin, but instead a mildly confused and (thankfully) very understanding stranger.
Professionalism at its best, folks.

Wow, are all 43 of those people your cousin? They all have different last names, and they don’t look alike at all. You must have a lot of aunts and uncles.
Kirk, that link may indicate just how deep Amelia’s problem may run. If she thinks that the guy on the phone is her cousin, and she thinks that everyone who works for Sonicbids is her cousin, we may have a problem.
Now I know how to really screw with Amy… just keep calling for Lain and pretending we’re not related. You guys don’t have caller ID, right? And the real link to learn more about me is http://www.sonicbids.com/HandsomeMan – nice
