My Astral Name is Larry

I’ve never seen a ghost, or communed with nature spirits, or had an out of body experience or even been led by intuition. In short, I am bereft of the woo-woo. Except for one thing. Throughout my adult life when people get my name wrong, they always call me “Larry.” This has happened at least 100 times. It has happened so often that it’s a joke between Linda and I. Close friends, customers, and mere acquaintances have called me “Larry.” I understand people forgetting my name and would not be surprised if they called me “Ronnie,” or “Rudolph” or “Ralph.” Something that begins with an “R.” They never do. It’s always, “Larry.” But where does “Larry” come from? It happened again the other night. Our friend Inga introduced us to a person we had not met as “Linda and her husband, Larry.” She immediately caught this mistake, was very apologetic and couldn’t imagine she came up with “Larry.” I told her not to worry, that I’d been called “Larry” so many times that I usually just responded as if it were my name. But it’s time that I started paying closer attention so I can solve this mystery. There is no scientific way to determine the reason for this phenomenon. Lacking any factual data we humans tend to theorize. Like this: Supposedly, we all have a finer, more subtle body called the astral body. Some people claim they can see this and the auras that radiate from it. I can’t, of course. My current theory is that we all have an astral name tag, with our name written on our astral shirt. My astral name is “Larry.”

Justin has the same problem/situation- his is jason. I guess his mom should have used the noble method and waited a few months. Also- people always get mine and isaac's name mixed up- even people that dont know both of us or know us from totally different places. we are astral bros i guess.

Hey Larry, err...I mean Dad! That was funny! At least nobody has ever called you: Snowball; Noballs; Nobutt; or Norbert.
