I went to have my annual eye exam today. New glasses coming.
Actually, they will be old frames, but new lenses. I met a lady there, I think
she said she was the Office Manager. I’m not exactly sure on that though.
Anyway, her name was Happy.
Of course, I had to ask. At first I didn’t see her name tag,
so I asked if she spelled it “Hapi” or “Happy”? She said, “Happy”. Happy told
me that she is actually a twin and that her twin’s name is Tree. She and Tree
were born in the fifties out in California. No surprise there.
She said her parents considered themselves Beatniks and had
already picked out the name Tree. She was a surprise and came out crying and
screaming. Her grandfather said they should call her Happy because she would
need all the help she could get. The name stuck. It’s not a nickname, either.
I told her about my sister Penny. Penny’s name is actually
Vanessa Kay, but my mom and dad didn’t have a penny to their name, so…..
I love both those stories.
