Something dumb I said once. Remember when Old Testament names started to be real popular for boys? I said,"I really don't like those Biblical names for boys." My mom asked, "Well, what names do you like?" and I said "oh, James, Paul, Matthew..." Boy, did I get SUCH a look....

When I started school, I could not spell Elizabeth. I spent practically all of first grade with a name card taped to my desk. I would write "Eliz" and then stop because it was soooo long. It morphed to Liz in junior high, and in high school it became Lizz because I wanted it to be different. I still have to tell people, "Yes, it has 2 Zs."
