I Never Learn

I handed my two boys their bowls of ice cream and started to put it away. One of them asked me why I wasn't going to eat any and I told him that I wasn't eating sugar for the rest of the school year. He of course asked why and I told him that I wanted to get skinnier, knowing full well that he, being the sweetheart that he is, would tell me that's not true. Sure enough, he replied, "But you already are skinny... Kinda."

My name is Maryn Smith (Muh-rin

Sm-ih-th). However, Maryn is not one of those names that can be shortened easily. Unless you take out all the vowels, which sounds a lot like 'Mern'. So my friends always called me Mern. Much later, I was talking to someone who was trying to find me on what was probably a very important list and she asked me what my name was and I said Maryn. And she looked at her list of highly influential and attractive people and eventually asked, "Smith?" I said yes and carried on to my very important business. As we walked off, my friend Caitlan said, "You totally should have said, 'No actually it's pronounced Smeet-er... the 'h' is silent.'"

And that is how I became

Mern Smeether.
