And now, in honor of her birthday, a guest blog (aka answering questions about me) from Farrah:
How did you feel when you came to NYC and Melissa forced you to watch GO instead of going out on the town?
Actually, I didn't mind at all! And this too is part of our only-child syndrome--when given a choice to go out on the town in NYC or watch a movie in the dark with another only child, which do you think we'd choose?! Plus you tempted me with your favorite Indie actress and told me it was the best movie ever made. And two episodes of Rosanne were coming on after the movie. Did I have a choice?
Is it true that everyone in KY calls Melissa "M.A."? How do you feel about people who call her Melissa?
OF COURSE everyone in Kentucky calls M.A. M.A.! As a lesson to those of you not from the South and who don't slur all of your words together naturally, we have long stopped pronouncing this acronym by its individual letters and instead call "Melissa" Ma. This is much more efficient.
I don't take to "Melissa" too well unless Momscriv is using it, which she has every right to do since she picked this name out in the first place, and plus I really like Momscriv! But I guess mostly when I hear other people call M.A. "Melissa" it makes me realize that she doesn't just belong to us anymore. Which means she is trying out terrible puns and cooking amazing brunches for someone else, somewhere else.
Thank you, Farrah, and have a very happy birthday!!! Wish I could be there to celebrate with you!!!
Yay for birthdays. Also, I've found myself going from M.A. to Ma to just plain Mae, with a little extra mmm at the beginning.
