"Today is a day to remember. Not only because it revolves around me, no, but because of who it celebrates, our daughter, who we christened...Helga!"
The children, who had crowded around us, laughed delightedly at the start of my story.
"Eugene..." Rapunzel said in her 'be serious' tone.
"Alright, alright, we didn't name her Helga! But no, we gave her a nice, common name like... Magnolia!"
The children screamed with laughter, much more than I had hoped for. Well, it was one of my stories after all. They are amazing if I do say so myself!
"Eugene!" Rapunzel said sharply, but trying at the same time not to laugh.
"Ah, fine, we named her Eleanor, after her grandmothers Scottish cousin. But personally I liked Helga, or Magnolia, or...Ah. Wait for it...Susan!"
"Eugene, please! Eleanor is a lovely name!"
"Yeah, it is. I know what you're thinking, I gave up too easily. Ha. Well I can tell you that Eleanor's full name is, Eleanor Helga Susan Fitzherbert," whispering I said, "Blondie wouldn't let me put Magnolia in, but I got the other two!"
Rapunzel smacked me lightly on my arm, chuckling as she did so. The kids groaning about us 'showing affection' in front of them, honestly.
"Alas, I have gone on too long about names,"
Muttering under her breath to the kids, Rapunzel said, "about time, get to the point!"
"And so, travel back in time with me to August 7th, when Eleanor was about to be christened, on Christmas Day."
