Conversation with a male co-worker today.
co-worker: "Annika bo bannika banana fana fo fannika. Man, you have a fun name!"
me: "Thanks! I like it."
co-workier: "I have only known one other Annika in my life."
me: "You know another Annika? Dang it!"
co-worker: "Yeah, but she is a CUTE girl."
me: (slightly sarcastically, slightly hurt) "Cuter than me?"
long pause.
co-worker: "Yeah, she is REALLY cute. She's the kind of girl you'd do a double take on."
another long pause.
co-worker: "But hey, don't worry about it! It's all about personality. Personality goes a long way."
Geee. Thanks.
