An Early Birthday Gift

[claytonsgrrl]

I don't remember when exactly I become curious about the origins of my name but one day as a youngling, I brooch the subject with my parents. If you haven't noticed by now my siblings and I share the same initials, KJR and CJR. In keeping with the girls being "K", my dad lets me in on the secret that he wanted to name me Krista but mom didn't go

Now I told you that Mom just feels bad. You were only named after the commercial. She is throwing in Hepburn for good measure to make you feel better-although watching that ad McDonald's was a lot swankier in the 80's. The guy is wearing a V neck sweater and slacks the only person who does that at McDonald's now is dad. Now most of the ads are rapped. Also the Krista name was supposed to be for me and then Dad tried to resurrect it with you-kind of like the Malibu argument when we all turned 17.

LOL Dad in McDonald's alone is funny. Dad in McDonald's in his madras shorts is even funnier.
