Big Jan, Little Jan

November 9th, 2006 at 09:21 pm

I have the most darling neighbor on the right. She is in her 80's now, I believe. She called me to take her to pick up her car at the shop and tried to pay me for driving her down two streets. Whenever Hubby mows or something for her, she buys him a gift. And she's precious. The funny thing is that she has gotten our family totally confused. My DD and I look very much alike and we drive similar cars that are about the same color. My hair is straight and hers is wavy, but we both change it alot. And we sound the same. So it's no wonder she thinks we are the same person sometimes. Actually, now she thinks I am my DD. And she asks about my "mother" when she sees me. Before I realized what had happened, she asked me my name once. I told her Jan. So now she thinks me and DD have the same name. She calls us Big Jan and Little Jan. I have told DD so that when she comes in, she will have to be me. Neighbor is too sweet to embarrass her by trying to straighten it out, cos when she sees us together again, it might just confuse the issue. Not only that, I haven't the foggiest on how to explain who's who. It's no big deal. She's a doll and it doesn't matter. But it does make for some interesting conversations....

    We've had the same problem with helping our older neighbors. My husband insists to them that they are trying to take away his blessing when they offer to pay. This usually helps them understand that we do it because we want to!

    Lux: I have finally gotten her to just say a prayer for us. She is a devout lady and I'm sure the prayers for me and the family have been good for us!
    And it does tickle my ego that I could be mistaken for my DD!
