Name


There was a dinner-table conversation some time ago 
in which Laila told us that we needed to put signs up around the town, 
leading people to our house so that everyone could know her name. 

And then as her 3-yr-old preschool was drawing to an end, 
she kept talking about how her next school would be in Hollywood 
where she would learn to be in the movies.

So when Grandma brought over a copy of the local paper 
with Laila's picture on the cover of the Life section, 
we were not in the least surprised at her reaction,
"Now everybody knows my name!"

and for now we'll be content with just that amount of fame
