Mantalia North and South Carolina LOPEZ!

Mind Two:

So my friend/doubles partner in tennis wanted me to write a story about her. I can only think of a few that are non-racist and still funny. So I will tell you how she got the name "Mantalia North and South Carolina LOPEZ!".

Mantalia:
One day, in tennis practice, we are playing and somebody says something about falsetto. My partner, Natalia, jumps in and says "Hey, I know what that is!"

Other friend: "How did you know that?"
Natalia: "I was in band."

Well my other friend mistook that for "I was a man." Which makes no sense. So then later, Natalia goes to hit the ball and my other friend yells "Go Mantalia!"

Natalia immediately cleared up the mistake, but the nickname stuck. What better way to turn something really funny and embarrassing into a nickname? Then later in practice, somebody was making fun of her so she said "I didn't like the male anatomy, so I converted!" Then another tennis member went off on her about converting. It was so funny.

Now the middle name. After tennis practice one day, we are all standing around in the hallway talking. Mantalia was there, and everyone was trying to guess her middle name (don't know why). She was giving us hints and one of them was "it is a state". So we went through all the states and when we got to North Carolina, she said stop. We were going through really fast, so she kind of said stop on North and South Carolina.

Us: "Your middle name is North Carolina?"
Mantalia: "No, its Caroline."

And another unfortunate nickname that stuck.

And finally, LOPEZ!

This happened at the same time as the middle name. Poor Natalia.
We are all standing around in the hallway, barely having just gotten over North and South Carolina. One of the freshman starts walking towards the door. Natalia shouts at her and says goodbye (insert full name here). Above mentioned freshman turns around and says "Bye Shania (insert last name here)", thinking it was me who shouted at her. Mantalia starts laughing, so freshman instantly knows it was her. She then said "Oh bye Natalia...I don't know your last name." Natalia says "it starts with and L." Freshman shouts back "Lopez!!"

Now, this was hilarious. See, Natalia is half Mexican. So when freshman heard "L" she immediately thought of Lopez. Can't say I blame her. I probably would have done the same thing.

Mind one!!! Wait, her last name isn't lopez?? Well, I feel like my whole life has been a lie...
