Okra

I had a conversation with our 5 year old. It went something like this.

Me~ "So if you had a little brother or sister what would you want to name her/him?" (generally speaking that is)

5 yr old~ "Shilo, its my favorite name"

Me~ "Really! We already know a baby named Shilo, you cant name steal"

5 yr old~ "Well then we would name the baby....Okra"

Me~ "OPRAH, like as in Oprah?"

5 yr old~ "Nooo Mommy, Okra like Okra"

Hmmmm well thats an interesting name. Good thing shes not in charge of naming the pets or children.

Picked her up from Preschool the other day. Walked in and quickly scanned the room to find her standing near the bookcase in the corner. Facing the bookcase, reading a book to the corner. Lost in her teaching. The teachers aid approaches me and says, "Hi, Hows your day? Taylor is over there, reading a book to Okra. Shes been teaching her for a while.. .. giggle"

Ooooh the imagination of a 5 year old.

I wonder if she can see Okra.

If we ever have another baby. Wellll NOW we cant name it Okra, because technically THAT would be name stealing. AND we just dont do that.
