Sold down the river...

[blueerica]

Who sold my name? And, more importantly, who told the advertising world that I was pregnant???

For the last year and a half, I've been inundated with mailers regarding first pregnancy, and now – the baby part. I’ve gotten weird phone calls. But worse, the mailers go to my mom’s house. Which meant endless questions, and now means, constant ridicule. Really, are four to five mailings really enough? And I’m obviously without child. No Enfamil for me, please, and no more Huggies. Mmmmkay?

Honestly, though I think it came from my old doctor. It’s the only time I had the alias of the last name Way. My mom’s old insurance had me down with her last name, so it’s the only tie I can think of. I was sold down the river… and never was I pregnant, or was there something they didn’t tell me. Around the time this started, I was getting phone calls from “My Doctor’s Office” with something important to tell me. Except they never called me. They called my mom, and they called my boyfriend’s mom. WTF? I never responded, just in case it was someone fishing for social security information. Or was this a joke someone’s played on me. I can’t make and sense of it, anyway.

What weird things has your name been sold to?
