Joining three senior women in the Same Day Surgery Waiting Room this morning, my daughter's antics got them talking about their children's children, usw.

"My granddaughter has named her daughter the most unusual thing. She spells it X-A-R-I-S."

Oooh, aaaah, unusual.

I butted in to remark that that's a Greek word meaning "grace" and it's a beautiful name.

Not to be denied her one-upmanship, the great-granny retorted,

"But who knows that sort of thing?!"
