My name is Katie Yuen
No, not what you’re thinking, No!
We’re not expecting a new family member. No, LOL
Lately, Carissa and I have been having this conversation a couple of times,
Carissa, “Mom, why didn’t you name me Katie?”
Me, “Why Katie?”
Carissa, “because Katie rhymes with Kailey, Katie and Kailey, Carissa does not rhyme with Kailey.”
Me, “Oh…so you like the name Katie? Katie Yuen?…sounds pleasant to my ears.”
Carissa, “yeah, but then you’ll have to let Miss Chan know and have my name on the school bus pass changed.”
Me, “true” *Of course I have no intention changing her name officially*
Carissa, “then call me Katie at home and I’m still Carissa at school.”
