I decided to stop and check my mail last night on my way up to my apartment. There was a tag on my box letting me know I had dry cleaning ready for pickup, which I expected. But then I also had a tag indicating I had a package for pick up. That’s odd – the only thing I ordered could definitely NOT be here yet.
So I hand the guy at the front desk my tags. He checks the package log, pauses for a second and says, “That’s odd. This package has your apartment number on it, but it’s for the Brooks family.”
What?
So we go to the back and scout it out. Sure enough, there’s a box (well 2 actually) with my apartment number written all over them. These are 2 small, blue boxes, that clearly came in packaging from a company. The company’s logo is all over it. What did I get?
A box of Similac.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Similac, it’s formula. Like the kind infants eat. Did I have a kid a few months ago, order some formula, and suddenly get amnesia about this whole ordeal? I don’t think so?
It gets even stranger. So the second box is addressed to the Brooks family. Who live in a different building than me. But the address has my apartment number on it. And the two boxes have different tracking numbers, so they were clearly shipped separately.
Here’s what happened:
A. As stated above, I had a kid, ordered formula, and forgot. Oops!
B. The Brooks family messed up and put in the wrong apartment #. But that doesn’t explain how the second box had MY name on it.
C. A third party ordered me Similac. Maybe the company sent me samples? I mean, I have been spending a lot of time in Baby Gap – maybe I signed up for some sort of mailing list by accident?
D. Something else?
I have no idea what else could have happened.
This still leaves me 100% confused about the baby formula that came to my house. SO WEIRD!
