Quote of the Day

I was at a school development committee meeting, and near the end of it we all began to chat for awhile. The subject of kid's names came up (one woman having named her son  Tamburlaine after a Christopher Marlowe play).

I mentioned that we had once considered the name "Lydia" for a daughter, and that it was a name we both liked to this day.

"Why didn't you go with it then?" one woman asked.

"Because of what they'd call her on the playground," I said. "It'd be Clymidia this, Clymidia that".

In retrospect, as Conan O'Brien would say in a mock Spinal tap accent "Innappropriate!", esp. at a Catholic school meeting.

'Least I wasn't the one to later repeat the Seinfeld "Dolores rhymes with . . " gag at the same meeting.

Ya, I know big difference...dang it is going to bother me where it is from now. HA! Well, in Hope Floats Bernice didn't want to be Bernice Mattice! HA! My sister has a principal who named her son Seth...I think S last name like Smith...can you imagine saying Seth Smith....lovely for a lisp! HA! At least she is not named after a nasty porn like me!
