"Margaret had her baby!" I was telling Hannah, and showing her the beautiful photo that Margaret posted on her blog (shown to the right as a thumbnail).
Mary Jane came around the corner and pointed at Hannah's computer screen. "We have that picture on our 'puter!" she exclaimed.
"Who's that mommy and baby?" asked Hannah's four-year-old Hazel.
"That's Erin's friend Margaret," said Hannah, "she just had a little baby boy."
"Margaret?" asked Mary Jane quizzically. I could tell she didn't recognize the name.
"She likes little girls to call her Mrs. Berns," I added by way of explanation.
"Why?" asked Hazel.
"Because it's her full name," answered Hannah, "like sometimes people call me Mrs. P____."
"Mrs. Berns?" said Hazel wrinkling her nose.
"I don't like to call her Mrs. Berns," announced Mary Jane. "I like to call her Mrs. Coffee."
