Last week, I got an email from a friend who plays music. He said that he was going to have a show on the 15th at a small live house. I was busy in the early evening, but I told him that I could get there in time to see the second set. When I got to the place last Saturday, they told me that someone else was playing. My friend’s performance wasn’t until March 15! I thought it was in February because the date and the day are the same in both months. I left feeling a little stupid. Then, I saw a couple of friends outside a nearby convenience store. They had made the same mistake, too! (119 words)
