Hi everyone.
I'm new to the boards, but saw this sub forum and had to share a quick story. I hope you like it.
Back in 1993, I was enrolling into Bible college at the slightly more mature age of 25 (I had already done three years of engineering, and it wasn't for me). On registration day, there I was all dressed up with suit and tie on, waiting in the line at the window to register. Well, this pretty young lady turned around and asked if I had a pen she could borrow. She had left hers at home.
So, I proudly pulled out my favorite pen at the time and handed it to her.
Well, we kept bumping into one another in the hallways and stairwells until one day I formally introduced myself. We hit it off, and a couple years later we were married.
For our first Christmas together she bought me one of those cute teddy bears with clothes on. "His name is Sheaffer," she said with a big smile.
I must have had a dumb look on my face because she repeated, "Sheaffer. His name is Sheaffer." Pause. "Like the pen... The pen I asked you for."
I pulled out the pen, which I still carried, and we changed his name on the spot to Parker.
I no longer can tell you where it is, but that little red Parker Jotter played a big part in my last twenty years of happiness.
Moto Z Forced me to do this.
