Thinking ahead

May I have your attention please?

I have it?

Good.

Elegant, at the mature age of seven-and-a-half, has announced her future baby names. In order to fully illustrate this, let’s assume that she’ll be marrying someone named John Smith.

El’s boy names, in order of preference:

1. Martin Luther Smith (or possibly Martin Luther King Junior Smith)
2. Benjamin Franklin Smith
3. George Washington Smith
4. Abraham Lincoln Smith

The girl names:

1. Rosa Parks Smith
2. Susan Beatrice Smith (as in, Susan B. Anthony — no, that’s not what the B stands for; the B comes from Junie B. Jones)
3. Sacagawea Sacagawea Smith (she likes it so much she’ll use it twice)
4. Helen Keller Smith

Graceful is thinking she likes the name Butterfly.

When I asked Elegant to repeat her list for me, she said, “Are you going to blog this?”

Graceful said, “I’m SURE she is.”

Busted.
