This happened the other day. I was at Manzoni Wine Tasting room having a glass of wine and talking with Christina who works there. A woman came in – she had just gotten her hair done next door – and was inquiring about the wines.
Christina mentioned that I was looking to move here and that I had driven out from the east coast.
The woman asked me where on the east coast and I said Delaware. She said, “I have a friend that lives on an island near New York City, but I can’t remember the name of it.”
So, I asked “Staten Island?” “No.” “Long Island?” “No.” “Well, Manhattan’s an island?” “No.”
Then she says, “Oh! I remember now! It’s Rhode Island!”
I didn’t know how to respond so I just didn’t say anything. Wow.
