And your name is?

I’ve been married and divorced three times.  That is another long story which I won’t get into now.  One day as I was leaving work I heard some guy call my name.  I went over to the car where the guy was sitting and there was my first ex-husband, Jim.  I was surprised and shocked to see him since I hadn’t laid eyes on him since the divorce, some eleven years earlier.  In fact, I had been married and divorced a second time since then.  Jim was dropping off a pal of his who also worked there on another shift.  Jim and I made small talk but all I kept thinking was how weird he looked with his long hair, extremely thin body frame and general unkempt appearance.  I was anxious to make an escape when he asked if he could call me sometime.  ” Ah… sure, I’m in the book”, I replied, mortified at his request.  But seconds later, I accidentally got out of that commitment.  When I was leaving I said, “Good seeing you, Bob!”  Bob was the name of my second husband!  Oops.

By the way, Jim never did call me.-Barb O. Plainwell, MI
