So, the other day we were out . . . .

and we pulled off the side of the road to talk to this homeless couple that I see regularly.  They are on my route of regulars and I always have snacks, blankets, wet naps, $, fruit, or whatever for passing out to those in need. And I have chatted with them for years now.

Seriously, years.

Several years back it was obvious that she was pregnant and then I only saw him alone for a long time and I was afraid to ask what happened in case it was really bad and they had lost the baby or something.  So, anyhoo, we were talking and they brought up that their daughter is living with his sister and they don't get to see her very often.  And since they opened up that conversation I had to go there.  You know what I mean?

I said "well, at least she is with family and you get to spend time with her.  And that is way better than being in the foster system, isn't it?"  They allowed how they do get to see her some but not very often.  Then I asked, "what is your daughter's name?"

And they looked at each other and said "Well, we had named her Audacity, but his sister is calling her Diana."  Then he looks at me and says "can't imagine where she got THAT NAME."

This is where we all got the WTF???  look on our faces.  Yeah, can't possibly imagine where she came up with Diana, when they had the perfectly fine name of Audacity already.

It's a head scratcher, that's what I am saying.
