Dejavu

Okay. We've all experienced it before. That moment in our life that somehow we've already experienced. We're walking down the sidewalk and see that person whom we know we've seen somewhere before...we go to the store, stand in the check-out line only to have someone say something to us, or have something happen and we get that eery feeling that tells us....this has happened to me before...

But...have you ever met Dejavu? I know, Dejavu is NOT a person, it's a word that desribes that illusion of remembering something that has never really happened to you before. Well, what would you do if you actually ran into Dejavu?

Andy did. Yes, he did. He met Dejavu. Not in the store, not in a weird dark alley...nope. He met her in the dental clinic. Yep. No kidding. He met "Daisha'vu". Try that one on for size...imagine trying to check in a person by that name. With a straight face.

So, I can't get into details because I guess what I've already shared is against some ridiculous school rules...but they (the details) are pretty funny and I laughed and laughed about it all. Apparently, a lot of people that day thought that Andy was kidding when he introduced this person to certain clinic personnel, and he had to convince them that he was, in fact, very serious.

For those of you who live in the area...you'll know that names like "Daisha'vu" are really not all that strange...they're just part of the culture. So, Andy and I came up with a few of our own.

I challenge each reader of this post to come up with at least ONE more name to add to this list!
