Today after rest time, Turner and I were lying in bed talking...
She said, "Mom, you're not going to believe this! I forgot to tell you. Did you know that there is another girl with my SAME name at preschool?"
"No -- Really? With your same exact name?"
"Yeah, with my SAME name! I could not believe it. Last year at Lunch Bunch, the teacher would read off the names from that little notebook thingy, and she would call for a 'Turner JER-RARD!' Someone has my same name!"
"Did you see her? What did you do?"
"Well, I didn't do anything, and I never met her. But, when they were done with the list, Mrs. Jackson would come over and tell me to sit down every time."
...I tried to gently explain to Turner that some people pronounced our name as JER-RARD and that I thought maybe -- JUST MAYBE -- they were meaning to say "GRR-RARD."
Hmmm...she still doesn't buy it and is thoroughly convinced she has a name twin at PTCUMC Preschool!
(Sorry, child, I hate to tell you that they broke the mold, and YOU are definitely the ONLY Turner Guerard this world can handle!)
