No one even noticed my name........

After upgrading from my flip phone to the Smartphone about five months ago I have finally figured out how to add a signature to my text messaging.

I had sent about 15 or so texts out this afternoon for the first time with my signature. One of my friends responded back, "You do realize, don't you, that your text says Maria Beth <>< "

I said no! Stupid autocorrect. And changed it to "Marna Beth <><"

Wow, after all of those texts I sent only one person noticed my name was wrong. Wow.

Yes. My name is m a r n a. Not Myrna, Marta, Marva, Merna, Myra, Murna, and so on. (Although many call me Marnie and I like that one.) As an extremely shy child I hated my name. The first day of the school year was torture for me as most of the teachers could never pronounce my name. By high school, much to my secret delight, my classmates began correcting the teacher the first time it was flubbed up, often spelling it out during that first roll call. I think they had figured out I was too shy to do so. Overly attached to my mother I missed a lot of school until 9th grade, where I was scared of the Vice Principle and no longer complained of stomach aches. In the third grade my mother told me once the teacher asked if my middle name was "Stephanie". My mother said, "No". Seems I had started writing Stephanie on my schoolwork. My teacher continued to let me do so, which only last a few days. It's a miracle I have a master's degree after all my problems with school phobia. My mother is now in Heaven, no doubt, looking down on me in amazement. One of her biggest fears was I would not attend college. Here's to you momma. So sorry I grieved you so many mornings before school and so many afternoons with phone calls of "stomach aches". <><
