I remember the suppressed smile on her face as she asked me whether I intended to speak these names or just have them written down. Truthfully, I just thought it was cool that I could make appropriate puns for everyone's name (and they weren't mean), so I'm glad the principal seemed to understand. Still thinking on these matters.... Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one with table giggles.

(And it did make me laugh!) One of our struggles right now is silliness at the table. Like you said, we want mealtimes to be fun together times, not militant, stoic times, but it seems like the silliness goes a little too far. How to explain to the kids that balance? I dunno...

But my mouth isn't full. =) I think we are going to have to address the name-crafting game here. My son (8) called one of Erin's friends "Lindsey Lou Who" (sorta Grinch-esque)...and Lindsey didn't much care for it. Funny how so many of these seemingly trivial things translate into big things on the adult level. Best to get a handle on 'em now... Maybe I am a latent five year old…poofiecookiecarpet made me grin.
