A friend of mine just bought her second car on ebay.  The first was a mini van, this one is a vintage 1969 Mercedes Benz.  They have a family tradition of naming all of their cars.  While they were sitting around discussing what to name the new car she came up with Gertrude.  No one really cared for that.  Then she said, "It has to be something associated with dependable, safe, reliable and trustworthy."  To that her daughter promptly said, "Let's name it LaVonne!" 

I got a good laugh out of that, but it was also a good reminder for me to behave around children.  Did you know I can get a little mouthy?  Ha!  Understatement!  But, as I said, it was a good reminder for me to stop and realize there are all sizes of eyes and ears watching and listening.

For my walking/can update, see the March 9 entry!
