The undoubted littluns, those aged about six, led a quite distinct, and at the same time intense, life of their own... Apart from food and sleep they found time for play, aimless and trivial, in the white sand by the bright water.

Leslie: All the kids' names end in A - Aurora, Ezra, Rosa. "Aurora" is a lot longer, though. And harder to spell.
Me: Well, "Ezra" has a Z and "Rosa" has an S and those are hard to learn to write. (pause). Otto.
Leslie: What?
Me: Otto would be the easiest name to learn to write. O T T O.
Leslie: I know how to spell it! But you have to cross your Ts.
Me: That isn't hard to learn to do.
Leslie: Ollo. Ollo would be the easiest name to learn to write.
Do you all see what I have to put up with? See how strong I have to be ALL the time? Sheesh.
