Coworker: “What do you mean?”

Me: “I keep trying to date these papers and I don’t think I’m doing it right. June is the sixth month, right? But whenever I try to name the months, I get to it seventh.”

Coworker: “That’s… odd… Name them out loud.”

Me: “January, February, Saturday—”

Coworker: “I think I figured out what’s wrong.”
