Iris has a new name for her favorite stuffed kitty, a black and white stuffed cat that Joanie gave her a while back:

Humble Bay Dee-Dee.

We have no idea where that came from. Kathryn went to get Iris out of the crib one morning recently, and Iris kept saying “I want Humble Bay Dee-Dee! I want Humble Bay Dee-Dee!” while pointing to the stuffed kitty, which she had thrown out of her crib.

The only thing I can think of is that she sometimes calls her kitty her “baby”. She’ll say, “Look, I’m holding my baby.”

So the update to the car saga is that we went to the dealer this morning and there is about $5000 worth of damages to my car. We brought Kathryn’s car in too because her check engine light came on (which is the same business that started the slippery slope which led to the demise of her Forester – and her new car is, well, NEW!!!!)

We talked to a car salesman there, and he had the perfect car salesman name:

Monte Looney

He moonlights as a motorcycle racer, so maybe he belongs to the same name club that Dick Trickle belongs to.

“Mr. Looney, meet Mr. Trickle.”
