One of my favorite friends of all time, from the time we were in grammar school, is my Beatles-loving friend, Denise.
Her father, God rest his soul, drove two hysterical teenagers from the south suburbs of Chicago to Comiskey Park (White Sox Stadium) to watch the Beatles in concert one hot August day in 1965. I wrote about that experience in my article, Commemorating John Lennon's 70th Birthday, October 9, 2010: The Day John Lennon Waved at Me.
But beyond being Beatles buddies, Denise has always held a special place in my heart. Years and even months may pass, but we always manage to pick up where we left off.
One year, when she was pregnant with one of her sons, I recommended a name for him – Ker. She was not amused. Their last name was Plunk.
And that completes Day #11 from the A-Z Challenge. Brought to you by the letter, K.

ReplyDeleteYou just know if they'd named the child Cary or Kerry that's what would have happened in school and the child would have never let them forget it! LOL

Well I can't say that I blame her on that one.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know someone else out there would have named their kid what you suggested. How cruel!
