Fellow neighbor <a href="http://disturbingfurniture.vox.com/library/post/i-think-im-flattered.html"><strong>Duck</strong> </a>told a hysterical story in his blog about a case of mistaken identity that he and his partner <strong>Trent</strong> experienced while out on the town. Well! <strong>Stefan</strong> reminded me about how&#160;<strong>Jacque</strong> has her own tale! </p> <p>I will never forget taking&#160;<strong>Mom</strong> in January 2003 to see <strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274558/">The Hours</a></strong> with <strong>Meryl Streep</strong>, <strong>Nicole Kidman</strong>, and <strong>Julianne Moore</strong>. In the middle of a dramatic scene between <strong>Moore </strong>and <strong>Claire Danes</strong>, <strong>Mom</strong> started pointing at the screen anxiously and miserably failed at whispering &quot;<strong><em>It&#39;s Suzanne Duckworth!&quot; </em></strong>After calming her down and pointing out that she was not whispering but talking in an outdoor voice, I informed her it was NOT my sister <strong>Holly</strong>&#39;s girlhood friend <strong>Suzanne</strong> but <strong>Danes</strong>. To this day&#160;I don&#39;t think she beleives me despite the evidence to the contrary and the telling of this tale many times at parties. </p> <p>So to <strong>Suzanne</strong> wherever you are, here is to you! <strong>Jacque</strong> remembers! &#160;</p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://mcfreed.vox.com/library/post/and-now-the-further-adventures-of-my-mom---the-one-the-only-jacque.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398d74b6b0003?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> parents mom mother the hours mistaken identity suzanne duckworth
