One of my co-workers keeps calling another co-worker Misty, although her name is actually Mitzi.
“I’m sorry,” she explains. “Misty is my roommate’s cat and I mix up the names in my mind.”
“Do you ever call the cat Mitzi?” I ask.
“Sometimes, but not as often as I call Mitzi Misty.”
“Does the cat respond when you call her Mitzi?”
“No, but she doesn’t respond when I call her Misty either.”
