I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

Thanks you guys! But I TOTALLY MESSED UP AGAIN with the same parents! My carefully worded email that I put so much thought into referred to the student BY THE WRONG NAME! TWICE! I totally know her name- it was really strange that I called her by a different one! It wasn't even another student in my class.

So the dad emailed back and said thanks for the comments about OTHER NAME but I would really like to know about my daughter.

Now, I couldn't tell if he was angry or joking. I replied and just said "Oh no! I can't believe I used a different name! I was completely talking about your daughter and definitely know her name! I have no idea why I called her by the other name. I hope you know that I meant your daughter and it was a mistake." (something like that)

and you know what? I am OVER it! That's right- I apologized, I was a dork and somehow used the wrong name TWICE but it was 100% truthfully a strange accident. I was so fried on Friday (hey- get it?) that I shouldn't have emailed. I did email my principal to give her a head's up. I really just need those parents to come in and observe so they can relax!
