a post-mother's day post

my mother and i were listening to a radio promo for some event featuring barbie almalbis (of the now-defunct barbie's cradle).

without warning, she became really agitated. "her name is barbie? why is she named 'BARBIE'?"

"um ... mother? you are talking to someone named ORANGE ... and YOU gave me that name."

"yes, but 'orange' is a nickname."

ahaaaa.
