When coworkers see Pookas

Well, I don't know if its weather related but my office mate seems to have lost her tenuous grip on reality. This is the office mate that I refer to as Ms. Hot House Flower (HHF).

She asked if I remembered a contractor who worked with us last year AKA 'JOE'. I said yes. She asked if I remembered when Joe called Ben (one of my coworkers) a 'Potato Head' (VEG is substituted to protect identity.) I scrambled for an answer and said 'I don't recall much of anything last year about this contractor.' She was somewhat mystified.

I can't imagine Joe ever calling Ben a spud head. Is Ms. HHF delusional? I don't know if I should tell my boss about this. It is just too weird to sit with someone who makes this stuff up.

Maybe she has an imaginary Pooka or in her case a Spudka or Potatoeooka.
