NAOMI

While I vividly remember giving birth to this child, I often wonder if she's actually mine.  People say she looks like me, but the similarities end there.  Naomi likes order, predictability, repetition.  As her birthday approached this year I asked her what she wanted to do for a party etc.  Naomi handed me a piece of paper divided neatly into categories, Food, Games, Guests and it even included a mock up design of her birthday party invitation.  She wanted her party on the 1st, because that's the date it was on last year, and she informed me, the date her party will be on EVERY year until she dies.  For dinner she requested her favorite meal, Sloppy Joes, because that's what we had last year and that's what she wants EVERY year for dinner on her birthday until she dies.

Yesterday Naomi approached me and said, "I think you chose a very appropriate name for me.  NAOMI.  Almost every letter is symmetrical.

That about sums it up folks!
