Names

Daughter: "Mommy, what does your name mean?"

Me: "different things depending on where you look. Some say slender, adorned, or delicate"

Daughter: "What does 'adorned' or 'delicate' mean?"

Me: "Adorned means decorated. Delicate means easy to break"

Daughter: "So your name means thin, decorated and easy to break?!?!? That doesn't sound good... So what does your middle name mean?"

Me: "My middle name is made up. It doesn't have a meaning."

Daughter: "Well, I'm going to give it one that's better than the first name. I'll make it mean 'bright, beautiful and strong.'"
