Today rocked. Did I mention that yet? Because seriously people, I wish I could tell you more, but it was just plain awesome for a million different reasons.
One of those reasons? The following conversation.
I had driven up to see my cousin Karlee and her 3 kids for the evening (and to celebrate the awesomeness of the day).
This little dude is Keith-
As can be the case in our family, understanding the differences between cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends, can be very confusing. (Our generations overlap considerably.) Keithy asked several times who I was. We finally agreed I am not his uncle, because those are boys, and that maybe I am Queen Zerin of all the Land.
He asked me where I live. I said, "In your grandma's basement." (Which is partially true. I move there this weekend, and that is where he has most recently seen me.)
Did I mention I was wearing this shirt?
It was my favorite H&M shirt. Kind of fun, lightweight, with big bold stripes. I thought it was cute. Now I want to burn it.
During dinner I went outside for a sec to grab something. When I came back in, Keith asked his mother, "Mom, where did Grandma's prisoner go?!"
(Later that night Keith asked, "Mom, is Erin Ann REALLY the Queen of all the Land?" Being a wise woman, she answered, "Yes, she's Queen Zerin.")

(Maybe back in college when my aunt was naming her baby, Karlee and I sent her a list of names that were a combination of our own names for her to consider. Queen ZerinannKarma was our favorite. Let's just say Remington dodged a bullet on that one.)
Amrak Nire was the best name we came up with. Where Remington came from I have no idea. Keith also asked where our prisoner was at one point. We will have to work on the word "guest" or "friend" or something besides "prisoner."
