neighbor awkwardness

we talk to our next door neighbors all the time. problem is i have no idea what their last name is and i have no idea what their son's name is.

i'm sitting here addressing holiday cards wondering how to address this one.

Suzy, Mike, Emma and Son? (no!)

Suzy, Mike and Family? That seems weird though because I love their little daughter and obviously know her name. Hmmm... I'll put that one aside and work on the other neighbor...

This guy we also talk to ALL the time. Again, no clue what his last name is. AND his wife is like a reckloose (sp?). We never see her but he does have one. Hmmm...

Ron and Wife (no!)

The Ron Family? (no!)

Happy Holidays! (that might have to be it for the outside)

LOL. I'm glad I'm almost done. It's 12:30 a.m.

Re: neighbor awkwardness

  • Okay. I put Suzy, Mike and Family and I put Mr. & Mrs. Ron. The latter sounds dorky but after I deliver it I'll tell him I didn't know his last name. I think telling him I don't know his last name is better than telling him I don't know his wife's first.

    Night!

  • Glad you worked it out!! I was going to tell you to stalk your postman and see if he could tell you.

  • does your county have it's real estate records online? i always check our county auditor's website...you can search by address, name or parcel number and i love seeing waht people paid for their houses. but it's also a good research tool for names...it should show how their mortgage is titled.

  • I think you could just ask them and they would be appeciative of that. Plus, it's so kind to keep them in mind with your holiday cards.

  • I always just ask. I'm a ditz anyway, though. I'd probably have handled it like "Ron, I know you've told me your wife's name, but it's completely slipped my mind since I haven't sen her. How is she, btw?" and for the son, I'd have asked what the influences for their children's names was. (ie family, movie, book..) It's a great way to get around the whole "what's his name?" since parents can be touchy with their kids names, and makes you look interested.
  • sorry! wasn't willing to put that much effort into it. i just wanted it done, and it is! yay!
