Me: Yeah, My name is Aldanzo.
Them: Really, I always thought it was just Al.
Me: Yeah, Al; Short for Aldanzo.
Them: Yeah? Wow! What is it again?
Me: Aldanzo.
Them: Wait, What did you say?
Me: Al-Don-Zo.
Them: Ok, cool! I’ll just stick with Al, though. Cool?
Me: Yeah, that’s expected.
Al-Don-Zo
Three Observations….
- It’s that awkward feeling when people realize that Al isn’t short for Albert or any of the other usual names…
- The a in the middle of Aldanzo always throws people for a loop…
- NO ONE besides my sister ever calls me Aldanzo. Not even my parents.
