L*I*N*D*S*A*Y

I love my name. Always have.

There are, however, a multitude of ways to spell the name that I am called by.

I've seen them all. Been addressed by them all.

The most common is replacing the "a" with an "e."

Or forgetting the "d" in the middle.

The most creative I have seen was "Lynnzee."

Until yesterday.

I ordered take-out. Spelled my name at least three times for the exasperated person on the other end of the phone.

And when I went to pick up my food, I saw on the tag.

LRNCSY

And now I have seen them all.
