a rose by any name

Greta has taken to calling her little brother, Graham, by David or Davie. There seems to be no apparent reason why it started, but I'm sure a large part od why it continues is that I laughed so hard when I first heard it. In fact, Graham himself has started saying, "I Davy." I don't think that he knows what it means; he just knows that we laugh. Greta refers to herself as Sarah a fair amount of the time. Sarah and David. The other night we were invited to Sarah and David's wedding. Greta was draped in every scarf or piece of fabric she could find. Graham had to kiss her.

Greta also likes to rename our entire family. Recently we were all the MmPeople family.

Mom: Pink Lady Mmm People
Dad: Watermelon Mmm People
Graham: Blueberry Mmm People
Greta: Banana Mmm People

This morning Greta came to eat breakfast bubbling over with enthusiasm as she told me, "Mom, guess what. I am a fairy from England. Aren't you soooo lucky? You get to eat breakfast next to a fairy from England."

Indeed, I was.
