DON'T CALL ME
GLADYS

Oh, the joys of having a last name like GALDYS! It's GALL-DEES, folks. Not "Gladys", not "Glad-ice"—and certainly not "Gladiolus". It's simple: GALL as in "gallant", DEES as in "deeds". Alternatively, I'll accept GAL DIS, where GAL rhymes with "pal" and DIS... well, just think "this" with a playful twist.

Now, unless you're grappling with dyslexia—in which case, you get a free pass—let's make a pact to nail this pronunciation. Look closer. It's GALDYS. Yes, that second letter is indeed a mysterious 'A', not the assumptive 'L'.
