HIM: I see it's you and Stephen living at that address?
ME: No, that's my father. I live alone.
HIM: Oh, but you've visited Walt Disney World recently with your father?
ME: No. Not since 1997. Dad actually died in 2001.
HIM: I'm sorry to hear that.
ME: Wait, no, I'm sorry. He's alive. He's totally fine. You probably even have it in your computer that he's been there after 2001.
HIM: Okay, I can get you those two nights, with the two-day passes for--
ME: Wait, can I guess?
HIM: Okay.
ME: $594.42.
HIM: Close. $552.30.
ME: The Web site was wrong!
HIM: They must have quoted you the preferred room price.
ME: Yeah, we're not enfeebled. We can walk. Leave the preferred rooms for the strollers and the people with walkers. Hey, I'm sorry I told you my Dad was dead.
HIM: It's okay.
ME: Now, can we cancel this reservation if, like, one of our appendixes bursts? Aren't I the most magically thinking customer you've ever dealt with?
HIM: You can cancel up to 6 days in advance for a full refund.
ME: Okay. And can I request 2 double beds instead of 1 king bed, 'cause, you know, sleeping with my mother--awkward?
HIM: I'll make a note on the reservation that you'd like two double beds. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Me: No, that's about it. Thanks.

Hey Carli...you're a movie person. Have you seen the movie "Premonition"? If so, pop over to my blog when you get a minute and help me out!
He did say, "Have a magical day," before he hung up right? I think it's a rule that the Disney World people have to say that.
