I DIED AND WAS DEAD.

Last week, Amelia asked me why we have middle names. I asked her what she thought they were for.
She responded, "They're for when you are in trouble."

I died laughing.  She didn't quite understand why this was so funny. I'll explain it to her in a few years.

It's so true!

Anela calls it her "trouble name".

That's so funny!

HAHAHAHAHA!!! That's too funny...
Jimmy says that's when Olivia will know she's in big trouble -- when I call her by her full chinese name... and pronounce it correctly.

Oh, man!

It's rough being a kid in the South. You know when the last name is used, you're in deep doodoo. :D

It's really the truth these days. Amy claims that she would love her middle name if she didn't associate it with being in trouble!

What is her middle name? (I'm so nosy!)

Rebecca. Amy Rebecca.

I love the flow of it.

Me too. Her sister's name is Erin Elizabeth, and if I'd had a boy he would have been Adam Christopher. I like the slight syncopation of a longer middle name.

reminds me of something my mom told me. she grew up with a friend whose mother was swiss. if she yelled at them in french they were okay. if they heard italian they were in trouble. when they heard german they knew they had better hide if they wanted to survive.

I'd be running too.

HeeHee

Has she ever heard all three names yet? That was when I knew I was in some serious trouble. Only two names was just trouble.

Oh, yeah - the full name gets broken out on occasion. :)
