I think I can get her to go with Ernine   I will ask her latter today when
she gets home from school

I'm sure I can get Amanda to think about her name some more out of the two
girls she's the one that dicided at the event she needed slippers because
her tennis shoes "were not period" I about fell out of my chair when she
falowed that up with "Isn't that right auntie Simone. I do want to be a
proper ladie" at that point I figured she was one of us in a little package
and was convinced when she asked for help with a proper name

I'm not sure i've been spelling it that way for years.  i could be wrong.
