I just want to immortalize this
At work today I overheard a little girl asking a new playmate what her name was. The mother of said playmate answered saying that her name was Josie. I hear the first little girl laugh a little, then she said something that drew my full attention.
She started telling the playmate's mother how funny that was, her name being Josie, because her mother named her Bela after Bela Lugosi. I stopped in my tracks, wondering if perhaps the allergy meds have gone to my brain, and heard her explaining to the woman how they rhyme. She then went on to explain how her name is spelled with one L instead of two, and how people get it wrong.
Around that time I noticed a spill and leave to get a mop. As I left, I looked back to see what the girl looked like, for my own curiosity. Of the two families in there, both had blond girls who looked like their mothers. The older-appearing of the girls said something, and though I couldn't understand her words I recognized the voice as belonging to the girl named after an actor.
File this one under actually cool kids, I guess.
