"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Grace is reading over my shoulder. She pointed to Jesse's name and asked what it was so I said, "Jesse." Then she said why. And I said I don't know. Then she said why again and I asked her why her name was Grace. Which made her say I don't know.

Repeat this same conversation with the name meara.

Now she is asking what I am doing. I said, typing. She said why. And I said because I want to. Her big thing is to answer with because.

I love a communicative Grace.

Man, I'm glad the sun starts coming back tomorrow. Sitting in the office when it's completely dark outside is NO FUN.

Awww! Hi, Grace! The people behind your mom's glowy screen thing you and your brother are wonderful!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Gracie!

I know why my name is Jesse (parents picked it), but not why those letters make those sounds and/or meaning. Although I probably know people who know all of those things!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Hi, Grace! My name is Ginger because I was named for my mother. Her name is Virginia and it would be confusing if we were both called Virginia. She was named for her grandmother. Virginias are named for the colony of Virginia, which was named for Queen Elizabeth. Why wasn't it named Elizabeth Colony? Because.

Many of these questions are more complicated than you'd think. Because.

Hi, Grace! I'm "Calli" because I made it up, for fun.

So, Antipodal Buffistas, how's Dec. 21 looking? Any apocalypse action happening?

Hey, Grace, my Sara's middle name is Grace (and I call her Gracie very often, although I'm the only one who's allowed to).

Why wasn't it named Elizabeth Colony? Because.

Heh.
