Last Name

The other day I went to pick up a prescription at our nearby pharmacy.  I didn't spend much time thinking about what name to say.  The simple thought crossed through my head that I hadn't been to pick up a prescription since getting married so I said "Peterson". 

The lady at the pharmacy began searching for it.  She couldn't find it so she typed my name into the nearest computer.  She soon asked for my birthdate.  At that point she called a second associate over and they conversed as they pointed at the computer screen in front of them.  She then asked for my birthdate again.  Which I gave again.  The second associate then chimed in to ask me if it was possible that my prescription was under a different last name.  I quickly said, "Oh umm, maybe Vaughn!"  The lady instantly said, "Yes, your birthdate brought up your prescription but the last name didn't match."  I then quickly explained I recently got married and apparently I'm a bit crazy!  Well, I didn't say the crazy part but I felt a bit ridiculous.

Anyone ever heard the song "Last Name" by Carrie Underwood?  Well, I could definitely relate somewhat to that song as I walked away from the pharmacy.  For a brief second I wasn't sure what my last name is....lol!
