“Good morrow”

This was a coincidence/synchronicity that felt surreal to me in the moment, and I kept thinking about it through the day. I was picking up my friend on the way to church. And as he was walking out to my truck, I thought to myself, I’ll say “good morrow” when he opens the door.

Obviously that’s a phrase you almost never hear nowadays. It’s an archaic way to say good morning. I think I first heard it in the 1996 Romeo and Juliet film, and I believe there’s a John Donne poem by the same name. But anyway, I figured whether my friend had heard the phrase or not, he might find it amusing.

And then, when my friend gets to my truck, he opens the door, and literally says “Good morrow” to me. And I was just like, “…are you kidding me?” Lol.

Now it’s not out of character for my friend to know the phrase, but I don’t think he’s ever said it to me, nor I to him. And to be such a random and archaic phrase, and the fact that I was actively having that thought process about the phrase while he was walking up to the truck, it was just such an uncanny feeling when he said it.
