Ok, so here's how it happened.
Stelios and I are standing on line at 'Market Basket' waiting for our delicious sandwiches. I am wearing a long sleeve black shirt with 5 buttons; 3 of which are black, 2 of which are green. My jeans are torn, my hair is as curly as ever. Stelios is sporting a gray shirt, p-coat, and black top hat with a feather in it. We are discussing the finer points of the surprise I had just the other day when I realized that I actually really like hummus.
To our left we notice a sweet older woman smiling and laughing a bit at our conversation.
"I guess she really likes hummus too," notes Stelios observantly.
Before we could change subjects to our plans of dominating the internet, the blond haired, bespectacled woman leans in and softly asks, "I'm sorry... but are you the Jonas Brothers?"

Stelios and I looked at each other and gave her a synchronized head shake of denial.
We smiled and she laughed at herself, clearly a bit embarrassed-- "Well, I wasn't sure what they looked like, I just know they grew up in Wyckoff so I figured..."
"We get that a lot," Stelios reaffirmed. "It's the eyebrows"
"Oh," she said, "I don't know."

Expecting the conversation to be over, we wished her a politically correct "Happy Holidays" and went back to the topic of other things you could dip pita chips in.

She leaned in once more.
"Are you actors?"
We must look really famous. Maybe it was the top hat. Or the green buttons.
"Jeff's an actor" Stelios informed the inquisitive little lady.
She turned to me-- "Oh well, you might know my son. He's an actor too"
Assuming that she meant a high school or college student, I nodded with anticipation, preparing myself to pretend that I was friends with her son even if he was my sworn enemy since 3rd grade.
"Yes, yes, he's on Grey's Anatomy. Eric Dane? They call him "McSteamy"."

Well, obviously neither of us have ever watched Grey's Anatomy, but we damn well knew there was a very important character named McSteamy and he was probably a big effin deal.

"Oh... wow... uh... yeah"

"Well, Happy Holidays to you both, good luck at school, enjoy your sandwiches!"

What a star-studded trip to the supermarket.
First the Jonas Brothers, then the mother of McSteamy (who Stelios and I confirmed later was much more attractive than McDreamy.)

I know what you're thinking, we're not sure why we didn't do it either...
If we just told her we were from PopSense, that would've settled the confusion immediately.
We'll cover our bodies in PopSense business cards next time we go out to make sure this never happens again.
