Funny story

Last night I went to a support group. about six months ago in the group, we were talking about possibly having the rep from Edgepark come to the group. His name is Colin, which he pronounces COLL-IN and many of us have talked to him on the phone.

Colin happened to come to a group at another hospital last month (I went to the meeting), and there was one woman there, Mabel (not her real name) who was at that meeting and also at the group last night.

So when the group ended yesterday, another woman, call her Harriet, who has a urostomy not a colostomy/ileostomy, comes running up to me, saying, "Mabel met COLON, Mabel met COLON." I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about, Mabel met a colon? (Plus I'd met Colin too). To be fair, Colin Powell is famous and pronounces his name like colon, and this woman has a bladder issue, not a colon issue, so she probably doesn't automatically hear it the way I did.... but it was pretty funny.

Would anyone who had our surgery name their kid Colin and pronounce it colon??????

You say Collin I say Co-lin.....potatoe, puhtat-toe...lol

Sounds like it was funny..you got me laughin'

I went to high school with a kid named Matt Rector. Thank God his parents didn't name him Colin.

You know we all could do a funny monologue on the Tonight Show with all the material we have. hehehehe! Rosemary

I went to highschool with a kid named Howie Schitz.

I also knew a Ophelia Krotch.
