Chicken Sausage with Peppers and Onions

My boyfriend, Stephen, is a very nice, friendly guy. We went to the gym together last Saturday. As I was on the treadmill, he came over to talk to me quickly then as he walked away, he said hi to a personal trainer working with someone next to me. After Stephen walked away, this following conversation took place:

Trainer: Are you his significant other?

Me: . . . Yeah, I'm his girlfriend.

Trainer: Um, I feel really bad saying this because I have never corrected him before. . . but he always calls me Jason.

Me: . . . So what is your name?

Trainer: Aaron

All I could do at this point was laugh hysterically. Because as crazy as the conversation was, I'm not at all surprised that Stephen had his name wrong. But you gotta love his good intentions.
