Who?

So, my dear friend gave me permission to share this story with you. I got a good laugh out of it, and you will, too -- especially if you've followed the Twilight movies at all.

My friend was watching T.V. recently and saw an advertisement for donating money to help the orphans in Haiti. She felt very moved by the program and knew she just had to donate. (She says that George Clooney didn't have anything to do with it. . . hmmm.) Normally she donates money through the LDS Humanitarian Fund, but she felt strongly that she needed to donate to this fund.

So, she called the number and did her part. After she'd donated and was feeling that high you get from doing something good for someone else, the operator said, "Now as a thanks for donating, you get to talk to a celebrity."

"Uh, okay," replied my friend. The operator then told her that some of the celebrities that have answered the phones have included Michelle Pfeiffer and Robin Williams. She was a little intimidated, not sure what she'd say.

The phone rang and a man's voice answered, "Hi! This is Taylor Lautner. Thanks for donating to Haiti today."

"Hi! You're welcome. I think it's such a great thing that you're doing, and I wanted to help out. What did you say your name was?"

"Uh, Taylor Lautner." My friend quickly wrote his name down and decided to "Google" him later.

{This is the part of the story where I started BUSTING A GUT!}

She and Taylor Lautner then made small talk, and she could tell that he knew that she had NO IDEA who he was.

My friend closed the conversation, "Uh, well, thanks for talking to me today, that was really nice of you. Have a good day, Good-bye!"

She then "Googled" him, and for those of you who don't know who Taylor Lautner is because you've been living in a box (or you're completely anti-Twilight), this is who she talked to

Or for those who haven't seen New Moon:

Taylor Lautner is only Jacob Black.

Oh, and at the time, she was just finishing reading New Moon for the first time.
