I am a lifelong fan of Ted Nugent.  He played the first rock concert I attend.  I read his books, buy his albums, go to see his concert when he comes through, etc.

So a few years back, I went to his book signing at a Border's book store in Oklahoma City getting a book signed.  Ted was very cool.  There with his wife and son.  I ask the guy behind me in line to take a picture and later put it on facebook.

So this week I'm browsing Facebook, and without even looking I see Shemane Nugent on someone else's friend list.  Shemane is Ted's lovely wife.  I sent her a friend invite so I could tag her in the picture.

I wake up the other day and my phone is notifying me that she left a comment on the picture.  "That is actually our son Rocco, not Toby, in the background."

In the caption I had Rocco listed as Toby.  Toby is Ted's older son from a previous marriage!  For some reason, I was thinking that the youngest boy's name was Toby.

I felt so stupid, apologized, and corrected the caption.

At least it makes for a good story.

It all worked out well.  She asked me to tag the son in the photo, I sent him an invite and tagged him as well.  He liked the picture.
