"Mr. Educator?"
"Yes, Suzie?"
"What 's the difference between A-L-L-E-N and A-L-A-N?"
"Just the spelling, I think."
"Well, I like A-L-L-E-N better."
"I don't sink so," opined her neighbor (note to self--work on that "th" sound).
"Well, Suzie," I told her, "Maybe some day you'll have a son and you can name him A-L-L-E-N."
"No, I'm going to call my husband A-L-L-E-N."
"Don't you sink he may not like it?" asked the neighbor.
"If he wants me, he's going to have to use that name," declared Suzie, and the matter was closed.
