Emma is into writing stories lately. She’s quite good. She wrote this very involved story about a dog named Sanibel and her four kids. Problem is… she named each of the puppies the following:

Sanibel Jr.
Sanibel Jr. Jr.
Sanibel Jr. Jr. Jr.
Sanibel Jr. Jr. Jr. Jr.

Her father suggested to her this morning that perhaps the story would be easier to follow if she chose different names for the puppies. She laughed and then told her father that Sanibel is in fact psychotic in this story and it’s crucial to the plot that all the dogs be named Sanibel. Her father then agreed that then naming all the dogs Sanibel was a good idea.

Well – ok then. I’m pretty sure I didn’t know what psychotic meant when I was 8 years old. I’m not sure if I should be proud or very afraid!
