Our gorgeous Genevieve Gray, who told me the other day that she might like to be re-named, Genevieve Elizabeth.

Cassie: But your name is Genevieve Gray.

Genevieve: It sounds artsy.

Cassie: Artsy and beautiful.

Genevieve: Genevieve Elizabeth sounds famous like a princess. And rich.

Cassie: (sighing) You want to be rich?

Genevieve: Everyone wants to be rich.

Cassie: Really?

Genevieve: And if you can’t be rich, then you can sound like it.

Cassie: I see. (Pause) Does a girl in your class, by chance, have the middle name “Elizabeth?”

Genevieve: Yes. How did you know that?

Cassie: Just a guess. Anyway, you can’t change your name until you are older.

Genevieve: You mean officially…by the law?

Cassie: Exactly.

Genevieve: But I can tell everyone that my name is Genevieve Elizabeth.

Cassie: Fine.

Genevieve Good.

Cassie: But your name is still Genevieve Gray.

Genevieve: I know.
