Setting: I am putting vegetables on a customer's sandwich...
(I will refer to a music director as 'Sally Smith')
Me: "Hey, what veggies can I get for you today?"
Lady: "Hey!! Were you that flower in the fifth grade play?"
Me: (Slightly taken back by her random question) "Excuse me?"
Lady: "Yeah you were so cute, you still have those big, brown eyes!"
Me: (Processing ...) "You mean the Nutcracker play in elementary school?"
Lady: "Yes!! And Sally Smith did a great job with the costumes!"
Me: "Yep I remember lots of lipstick involved.."
Lady: (Laughing)
Me: "You know I have graduated from high school now?"
Lady: "No way! Really? Wow! Long time go! Where are you off to college? Same as your sister Heather?"
Me: (How do you know my sister?) "I'm actually going to LDSBC."
Lady: "Oh fun...yeah and your sister Julie is going into the fifth grade next year?"
Me: (I have never seen this lady before in my life. Do I know you? How do you know me?) "Um, yeah."
Lady: "And your sister babysat my daughter once and your brother... went somewhere for two years?"
Me: "Yeah Brian was a missionary for our church in Spain for two years.."
(Mean while, I am finishing up her sandwiches)
Lady: "Well thank you for the sandwiches! And is your name Susan?"
Me: (WHO ARE YOU?) "Its Suzanne."
Lady: "Oh, well have a nice day!"
And then she left.
Well, I must have been a great flower for her to remember me ;)

When I was a freshman in college, just after I moved in to my dorm, a lady called and asked for me (by first and last name). I took the phone from my roommate and started talking to her. I did not recognize her voice and had no idea who she was. She was talking about people and things I had never heard of. (I think she thought she was talking to another BYU student with the same name as me.) Finally she ended the call and said "Love you." I just said, "Love you too." When I hung up the phone, my roommate asked who I was talking to and I said, "I have no idea!"
