M: look! A robin! Do you know you are named after it?

Me: I see it! and yes.

M: I’m not named after anything.

Me: I suppose that’s true. Daddy isn’t either.

M: When I have a baby I’m going to name her after something. She’ll be called Tulip or Rose or Chrysanthemum or Petunia. Then she can do a flower dance after her name.

Me: What if it’s a boy? What will you call him then, Catnip?

M: Yeah. Lettuce or Catnip or Potato. Or Tree. Because we need more trees, and then he’d be one.
