OK, so anyone who knows me knows I am not very smart. In addition to that, I am very scatter-brained, BUT.
My last name is Reichel, pronounced Reik-el. Like the Third Reich.
ANYWAY!!!!
A couple of weeks ago I was a actor in a Murder Mystery dinner at my church. Part of that evening was my asking guests (non-actors) to come up and I would humiliate them. My sister was a guest and I ask her to come up but pronounced her last name Rie-chell, because that is how people always pronounce it when they are reading it and don't know the proper pronunciation.
SO!!!
Last week I am with my Dad, who was at the dinner, and he says to me "You know our last name is pronounced Reik-el, not Rie-chell." He honestly thought I pronounced my sisters and mine last name like that because I thought that is how it was supposed to be pronounced!
I am not very bright, but I am brighter than that.
