It's a good thing that I hardly ever blush.
This is one of those stories that I've told to one or two people and they laughed at me. Not with me. It's too soon for me to laugh about this, it still stings a little bit. Maybe someday I'll chuckle when I tell this story.
But, if you are in the need for a good laugh at my expense, continue.
Though I have never been one of those girls who signs their name with others last names I decided to give it a whirl. Afterall, cursive is one of my favorite pastimes. So I was signing away. Cassidy -lover boys last name-. (If you are already laughing at me, stop. I haven't gotten to the punch line yet, the worst is yet to come.) I would sign and then erase, to get rid of the evidence of course. Soon it came time for us to turn our tests in. I promptly handed mine to the teacher and left the classroom. The next day my teacher was handing back tests. I was anxious to see what I got, but little did I know, that my test score would be the least of my worries......................(attempt to build anticipation).........every other student in the class had their test except for me. So I sat, waiting patiently. Then my teacher (notice the effort I exert in order to let my teacher remain genderless) came up to me and 'whispered' that I had put the wrong last name on my test! I've had the same name for 16 years, how on earth did I put the wrong last name? Oh, of course, I had been practicing signatures, and that's whose name ended up on my test. My eraser was all gone from the previous day so I just scribbled it out and corrected my last name. Wood. Cassie Wood.
Note to self, and everyone else who wants their dignity to remain in tact:
Do NOT practice signatures. And if you just can not help yourself, double check to make sure you actually put your own last name. It will prevent the most embarassing moment of your life.
