The other night Jenny and I were in our room, both in bed and about to go to sleep. For some reason we started talking about middle names and who else in our families has middle names. We discussed it for a while and slowly started getting sleepier. Then I said something that made us question my sanity...
I asked in all seriousness, "And your name is Jenny, right?"
After a second pause we both burst out laughing. Through the laughter, Jenny replied (rather condescendingly), "Yes Jess, my name is Jenny. I have been your roommate for quite some time now."
When I finally stopped laughing, I was able to defend myself by saying that despite what it sounded like, I really wasn't losing my memory, and I am not a complete idiot. I just meant to ask if her name was Jennifer or Jenny. But instead, it sounded like I had just met her for the first time.
So yes, I have known Jenny for 6 months now. And yes I did spend 3 1/2 months with her in Israel, and the last 2, she has been my roommate. And yes, some of my not-so-bright moments have helped us bond during our late night conversations. Those times have been the source of a lot of laughter.
And yes, I DO know her name is Jenny.
So everyone, meet by beautiful friend Jenny. I am grateful everyday that this girl is my roommate.
