WHY DID NO ONE BRING THIS TO MY ATTENTION?

Come on, people. I know you. Every single one of you is smarter, wittier, and intellectually more quick than I am. In other words, all you all do think good.

So why, may I ask, upon my marriage almost five years ago, did no one bring to my attention the ramifications of taking my Husband's name. It begins with "P." People regularly shorten my name to "Kat." My name is "Kat P."

I only realized this last night, when my aunt told me how my name is programmed into her phone.

Yep, you guessed it. And then she laughed.

Seriously, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

I'm off to the courthouse to locate a name change application now.
