The other day at work I met Sandra Claus.
No joke. Her name was Sandra, and she married a man last name of Claus. Her mother asked her if she was sure she wanted to walk down that road. When I first saw it pop up with her rewards card, I paused and glanced up at her. She sighed tiredly and said, "Go ahead, I've heard them all by now." I smiled at her and said, "Not at all, I thought it was a joke on me. I met Superman the other day." She laughed and then shared the story with me. She said even now after 8 years of marriage she gets people who think she's being a smart aleck because she signs things S. Claus.
So it's not always what parents do, sometimes people can do it to themselves.
