My boyfriend, Stephen, is a very nice, friendly guy. We went to the gym together last Saturday. As I was on the treadmill, he came over to talk to me quickly then as he walked away, he said hi to a personal trainer working with someone next to me. After Stephen walked away, this following conversation took place:
Trainer: Are you his significant other?
Me: . . . Yeah, I'm his girlfriend.
Trainer: Um, I feel really bad saying this because I have never corrected him before. . . but he always calls me Jason.
Me: . . . So what is your name?
Trainer: Aaron
All I could do at this point was laugh hysterically. Because as crazy as the conversation was, I'm not at all surprised that Stephen had his name wrong. But you gotta love his good intentions.

I am laughing out loud right now. And thanks for the recipe! If I were to make this for my significant other it would be called "Chicken Sausage with Peppers and Onions minus the Peppers and Onions.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good. I have a pkg of turkey sausage in the freezer so I will use that instead but the recipe looks great and easy as well.
