certificates

tonight we went to the royals game.  a first for all the kids.  a celebration of "half-way to st. paddy's day."  we went to guest services to get certificates for each of the kids to commemorate the experience(jeff howe's idea.)  the lady behind the desk was asking them what their names are and how to spell them.  "cecelia, C-E-C-E-L-I-A. klem, K-L-E-M."  "lionel klem, L-I-O-N-E-L, K-L-E-M.  and my middle name is jude."  "ralph, you spell that R-A-L-P-H.  and that comes with a rulus."
