ernie’s weekend (part 1 of 3)
(The setting: UC Davis, half an hour before our fraternities pledge initiation ceremony, where I’m the namesake.)
Mike, the pledge Dad: Good turnout, huh?
Ernie: Wow. 65 people. That’s pretty damn good. I’m not going to remember any of their names, though. If they’re female, I’ll just call them, I dunno, “Michelle Wong.” Teehee.
Random PersonRosina: Huh? You’re looking for Michelle Wong? Wait just a minute, let me get her.
Ernie: What? You mean there’s actually a pledge named Michelle W—
Michelle Wong, the pledge: Uh, Hi. You wanted to talk to me?
Ernie: …
Michelle: …
Ernie: Uhm… Hi. I’m Ernie. I’m your namesake. My foot is in my mouth.
Michelle: You’re weird.
Ernie: I know.
