O is for Orange, and N is for...

Note to self: MUST learn the NATO Phonetic Alphabet to appear more businesslike.

My own make-it-up-on-the-spot version isn't working quite as well as it usually does.

Spelling out my surname on the phone today revealed an unexpected gem:

"...T for tortoise, O for orange and N for, um, N for Knickers." 

Tut tut. Me a copywriter and all. Thank God I was speaking to BT and not a client.

I have my own ad-hoc version too. But what a silly mistake.

Don't worry about it, that is just mummy brain rot. A well known and proven condition. Happens to us all (*whisper* and if you keep passing it on and spreading the word, no one will be any the wiser!)

Visiting from Alpha Mummy's carnival by the way. Hello!
