My future grandaughters' monikers

Alecia: "Mom, I think I'm going to have to have at least two daughters when I grow up, because I have two names I want to give my daughters, and I can't decide which to use."

Me: "Oh, yeah? What are they?"

Alecia: "Well, the first one is Milka. I figured since that's what Kyle wanted to name me when I was in your tummy and you didn't use it, I should."

Me: "Sounds good. What's the other name?"

Alecia: "Cinder Block. I heard Cory say that name, and I thought, 'That is the prettiest sounding name I've ever heard!' So I think I want to name my daughter that."


I didn't have the heart to tell her what a cinder block is, and ruin the beautiful image she has in her mind.

She'll let me call her "Cindy," right?
