Scene: I am driving the Ladybug and the Butterfly home after ballet class.
The Ladybug: …and then Rhiana asked if I could go over to her house for a play-date.
Me: I thought you didn’t get along with Rhiana.
LB: No, that’s Rhianna. She goes to daycare. Rhiana goes to dance class.
Me: I thought there was a Rhiana at daycare too.
LB: No, that’s Briana, but she’s my friend from school.
Me: Oh wait, I got it. Isn’t there a Liliana at daycare?
LB: No, she stopped coming when she started first grade. But there is a Lillian.
Me: Wait, what? Then who is your daycare friend that you played with last weekend?
LB: Christiana.
Me: Let me get this straight. You have friends called Lillian, Liliana, Christiana, Briana, Rhiana, and Rhianna?
LB: Yeah…
Me: New rule! Your next friend must be named Betty or Sue or Jane.
LB: Hey, it’s better than in the Butterfly’s class. She has friends called Maia, Maya, Mya, and Mia.
I hear you… my son is friends with literally 7 other Ethans.
