Today, I found out that I've been calling my boyfriend's dad by the wrong name for the past two years. No one had told me sooner because they liked laughing at me for it when I wasn't around. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I’ve been greeting a coworker by the wrong name for six weeks. The worst part? They never corrected me because they thought it was funny, especially because it turns out to be their mom's name. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend in a joking manner that he says my name slightly incorrectly. Now he’s mad I didn’t tell him. FML
Today, as they have for the past three years, my boyfriend's parents have never called me by my actual name. They always "accidentally" call me by my boyfriend's ex's name. FML
Today, I realized that I've been using the wrong name for a coworker for the past 6 months. I just found out their real name when I saw their name tag. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a couple of weeks mixed up my name with his ex-wife's name. After he said it, he looked at me and said, "You knew it was going to happen." FML
Today, on more than one occasion, I was mistaken for my boyfriend's mother, by his own family. FML
Today, I found out I've been misspelling my middle name for 25 years. FML
Today, my boyfriend accidentally called me from his pocket. I thought it would be funny to see what him and his friends were talking about. I laughed when I heard him talking about us fooling around until I realized it wasn't me. FML
Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

At the bright side, you'll have a humorous family that can keep the joke for 2 years.

Keep calling him by the wrong name. Maybe try a different one each time.

Now that you know the joke call him by a different name all the time. Change it up. "hey Fansisco, pass the peas". Bernard, would you please get me a band aid". The possibilities are endless and fun.

Just tell them you've known the whole time and you were just playing along. Then they can lie and say that they knew that you knew the whole time. Then you can lie even more and say that you knew they knew that you knew! Lies and "Twilight" are great things to base relationships on.

No. Not Twilight. Never Twilight.

And before I get thumbed to hell, I understand that Doc was bring sarcastic. But Twilight should never come up in any form of conversation. Never. *twitches*
