Is Andy There

My husband’s name is on his license plate
it is the name he uses
not his legal name

in his family all the males go by their middle names
they only use their legal name when they are forced to
most of them do not answer to it

His legal name is Andrew
almost no one knows it
when a salesperson calls and asks “is Andy there?”
I know this friendly voice does not know my husband.

Sometimes I send this call through to him anyway
if I am in a mean mood
