The Namesake

I just saw that movie tonight. After a lovely Indian meal. It was a very white thing to do but a very good night.

I was in the restroom of the theatre when I overheard an adorable little girl (~4 years old) with big sunglasses talking to her mom while her older sister Maggie (~5 years old) was in the restroom.

Little Girl: Mommy, what's Maggie's name?

Mommy: (laughs) Sylvia. (after a moment) Of course it's Maggie, what do you mean?

Little Girl: (very serious voice) I mean her last name!

Mommy: It's the same as yours.

Little Girl: Oh. Really?

I love little kids. Their worlds expand every day.
