Opus is not his name

I was watching Mr Holland’s Opus, when my husband walked in during the funeral scene of Louis, the football/drums player. He noticed that Mr. Holland was not standing next to his wife. Not having seen the movie in several years, he asked:

hubby: Did they separate? Did she divorce him, Opus?

ina: No, no, they’re just not standing together…

wait … a … minute…

ina: … you do know that “Opus” means “song” or “hymn” or something like that, right?

hubby nods in confusion… “why is she asking me this?”

hubby: Yeah… why?… what did I say?…

ina: You just called him Opus.

hubby: I did??? LOL!!!!!!

We both laughed hysterically. Oh, these are the moments.
