You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine

(I’m a CNA at a local nursing home. I take care of one elderly gentleman in particular that I’ve developed a very good relationship with. He calls me “Sunshine” because of my sunny demeanor, very blonde hair, and love for yellow scrubs. I am chatting with him one evening when this exchange happens
Me: *telling a story* “And my friend said, [My Name], what did you do now?”
Resident: *looks confused* “Sunshine, who is [My Name]?”
Me: *laughing* “[Resident], I’m [My Name].”
Resident: *pondering this for a moment…* “No, you’re not. You’re Sunshine! End of story!”
(It made my day!)
