FAAAAAAAAIL.

Hahahahahahah okay I just have to start out here with laughter.

Background: Heather got a DVD player from her cousin, but for some reason there was no cord to attach it to the TV. So naturally, we went to Wal-Mart to find the necessary attachment. We got home and kind of struggled to attach it. So what do we do? We text our FHE father Bryant because obviously boys understand technology.

Unfortunately, I texted Bryant from work, not Bryant from FHE. Good move, Bradford.

Me: Bryant! Can you or your most tech-savy roommate come solve our technical difficulties? 
Bryant: Maybe. Who is this? [I was thinking that was a little weird, but whatever.]
Me: Rough... This is Allie. We have texted before.
Bryant: Oh sorry. Thought I would have had you in my phone. Sure. What's going on? 
Me: Nevermind! We figured it out. Heather's a genius.
Bryant: I bet she is. Good work Heather. [The work Bryant does not know who Heather is...]
(an hour later)
Me: Heather, Mitch, and I are about to start our favorite game of True Colors! Do you or any of your peeps want to join? [Heather and I had previously talked to Bryant and his roommate Austen about playing this game we love called True Colors. So they should have known this was coming. Bryant from work has no idea what that is and why I was inviting him to play.]
Bryant: [after quite a delay] So this is Bryant's wife. Can I ask who this is? [I'm thinking: okay, Bryant and his roommates are just being dumb. Bryant doesn't have a wife! And then it hit me... WORK BRYANT.]
Me: Hahaha oh my goodness I am so sorry!! Okay this is so embarrassing. This is Allie from work and I thought I was texting another Bryant. Total accident--haha please forgive my absentmindedness. 
Bryant: Oh got it Alice. Elly and I were just wondering why you were calling her my tech-savy roommate. Good luck with other Bryant. Not that we wouldn't love to hang out with you and your friends, but we're on a date. 
Me: Haha reading over that conversation, knowing who you really are, is super funny. Tell Elly sorry for creepin on her hubby. You two have fun this weekend! 
Bryant: Elly says no problem, you have good taste... You have a good weekend too Alice, stay out of trouble.

Of course work Bryant was super nice about all of this because he's just a nice person. But my roommates and I (and Mitch) were laughing sooooo hard! Heather was crying. My favorite part? I referred to my co-worker's wife as his "tech-savy roommate." I will never stop laughing about that line.

Meanwhile, FHE Bryant has no idea any of this has happened. Sorry you didn't get to hang out with us tonight, bro.

But I did take precautionary measures for the future: I took Heather's advice and changed FHE Bryant's name to Kobe Bryant in my phone.

Never again will I fail like this. But it was worth the laugh.
