When I was little, I didn't know that people could have the same names. I remember going to my friend's house, and she had a babysitter named Holly; well I also had a friend named Holly who was my age, and I thought she had suddenly grown up. So I said, "How did you grow up so fast?!"
Do I feel stupid now? Oh yes.
