who's on first?

i got an email from my friend in new york asking me which color shoes he should get.

i replied, "the beige ones. they're more you."

"Thanks... the beige is the brownish earth one right?"

i didn't reply quickly enough before i got the next email: "There is no beige. They only have it in the colors I sent."

"well the ones that are not grey then."

and then i got a voice mail. "Krista. You're driving me crazy. Which ones do you mean? There's an earth tone and a black pair. I'm assuming you mean the earthy ones?

i confirmed, "yes - the NOT black ones."

"The taupe? That's what i thought too. I just wanted a woman's opinion. Thanks."
