There's a topic I would like to raise because it makes me wonder and I want to know if y'all ever think about this.
This morning an Amber Alert came across the radio. A 5 month old, Cori'anna Heyward, was abducted from Charleston by Corey Heyward, who I assume is her father. It makes me wonder why 5 short months ago the mother saw it fit to name the child after her father, but is now reporting that he abducted her.
Last week there was a similar situation where the child abducted had part of the father's name in his name, and it was the father who had abducted him.
Clearly, 5 months ago you knew this guy was disreputable, so why did you name your kid after him? Riddle me that.
Does this baffle anybody else or is it just me??
And on another note, if the sun doesn't come out in South Carolina soon I am going to go insane. this is the 3rd straight day we have had overcast skies and rain. ICK. All it makes me want to do is curl up on the couch with a good movie and a book! It certainly does not promote motivation in my work. However, speaking of work- we just hired a new administrative assistant to replace the old ice chomper and he'll start in 2 weeks. Things are slowing down here now, of course, but it will surely be nice to have someone to do all the paperwork that I have been saddled with since the departure of our last AA.
And finally, we enjoyed a beautiful weekend in Fripp Friday through Sunday, but I have no pictures. You just have to trust me that it was gorgeous weather. Warm enough to sit on the beach for 3 straight days and get a little sunshine on our skin and cool at night to enjoy hanging out on the porch. We couldn't have asked for a better trip!
That is a very interesting point - it's crazy how fast the tables can turn!
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about the whole name thing...but you're totally right. It is pretty weird. I do think about the abductions themselves and think...when and how did it go from "we're a happy family" to "I'm going to kidnap my son/daughter." I'm stumped.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a great weekend and I hope your new AA works out great!
You know, you're right - I never thought about that before. Maybe there's some kind of "honeymoon phase" when the baby is born and she thinks he's really going to change and be a great father...I just don't know.
ReplyDeleteI have all kinds of thoughts about some of the things people name their children. A girl on toddlers and tiaras last night (its like a train wreck...) named Precious. HHmmm...
ReplyDeletei've never noticed that before but you are absolutely correct in your observation!
