  2. our bishop called us the Johnstons. with emphasis on the T. (it is Johnson, mot johnston.) he isnt our bishop anymore, and still calls us that. No need for first names, just a "Good on ya, Johnston!" or "hey there little Johnst! (sometimes he didnt even finish our fake last name.)

    so, Derdra, my friend, for your next lesson please explain that your last name isn't pronounced like Dick Cheney? :)
