My maiden name is Beaty...as in Warren, but with only one T. When my mom got married she went from Keller to Beaty, and her students always messed up her name (especially when she was pregnant) and called her Mrs. Baby.
I've had all that; Miss Baby, etc.
So when I got married and my name changed to Overman, I kinda always wondered if kids would ever run with the fact that my name has "man" in it.
Until this week, no one has.
Remember my little kid we call J on here? Awesome kid, lives in his own bubble, lots of theories? He has a twin in the room across the hall and they are the best of friends. The other day he said to me, "Mrs. Overman, my brother and I have been talking about you and we just CANNOT understand why your name has "man" in it since you're a girl."
I said, "J, that's just my name. Just like your name has words in it too."
J: "Yeah, but you're a girl!"
All right, at least you didn't add any comment about how my arms are hairy too. It's not so bad.
