Allie: (crying as she walked into the room. ) Mom. Carson says my name is a swear word.
Me: (knowing instantly what she means, I started laughing.) Let's get into this conversation when your dad is in here, because he is the reason your name is a swear word.
Allie: (horrified) You mean my name is a swear word?!?
Me: Let's just wait for dad.
...minutes later...
Me: Mike, Allie discovered that her initials are a swear word. Would you like to talk to her and tell her why you insisted that her name be Allie Susanne Schwab?
Mike: (laughing) Allie, it's funny!
Allie: No it isn't!
Mike: Yes it is. You can doodle it on your papers and then not get in trouble because you're just writing your initials. Besides, it's not even a bad swear word. It's in the bible.
...We then spent the next half hour laughing about it and trying to convince Allie that it's funny. I'm not sure that we did the trick, but she will just have to learn to live with the results of her dad's humor.
