A friend of our's son came home from high school last week and slipped into the dinner conversation that he'd asked a girl to the Homecoming Dance.
"What's her name?" asked his parents.
"Caroline," Andrew answered.
"What's her last name?" his parents asked.
............deep and dumbfounded silence.............
After much laughing and ridiculous guesses Andrew returned to school on a mission. Now, Andrew's a normal 9th grade young man. He had no idea of the details he was diving into when he simply asked a pretty girl to the dance. He thought he'd show up, she'd show up, they'd dance, say a few words to each other, and smile a whole lot. He had no idea about coordinating his tie color with her dress color, dinner reservations, going with a group of friends, or arranging a driver for he and his date.
But how to find out his date's last name? For that he had a plan.
The next night at dinner Andrew's dad asked, "Any luck finding out her name?"
"Yeah, I know it," answered Andrew proudly.
"What did you do? Ask her straight out?" asked his dad.
"No, I asked a buddy of mine, 'How does Caroline spell her name?'" said Andrew.
"Great idea! What did he say?" said his dad.
"J - O - N - E - S! How else would you spell Jones?!"
"What's her name?" asked his parents.
"Caroline," Andrew answered.
"What's her last name?" his parents asked.
