Stebbins

Love this post from my friend Stebbs which details the Muslim Call to Prayer that we hear five times a day here on Base.

And speaking of my friend Stebbs:

A very funny story to share.

Stebbs has a new friend here on Base that has become our new friend. New friends name is Anu. New friend is a gorgeous first-generation Indian woman.

New friend Anu has a son named Elijah. (And a son named Ezekeial but that doesn't matter to the story.)

So Stebbs tells her boy William that he is going to go and see Elijah. He squeals for joy to go and see his best buddy Elijah K. Stebbs informs him, "No, we aren't going to go and see Wendi's Elijah. We are going to see a new Elijah."

This confuses three year old William, but he meets the new Elijah at the park, and like most three-year-olds, quickly just starts playing and forgets the whole name conundrum.

Shortly after play begins, Stebbs pulls William aside to introduce him to Elijah's mommy. "William, this is Anu," she tells him.

William looks confused. First a new Elijah. And now? He responds with, "A new Wendi?"

Big smiles on that one.
