[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll play: 
Charlotte
Abigail[/quote]

Ever since your days as a history major at Sweetbriar, you have been planning to name a daughter Charlotte. It just always struck you as a classic name that never got enough attention (except from E.B. White's pen) and it suits your oldest daughter perfectly. She's a serious girl with a sharp wit and an observant nature that can sometimes prompt people to label her as shy or snobby, but she's actually neither of these things. Abigail is three years younger and currently immersed in a very girly stage which embarrasses and puzzles Charlotte since she never went through that. Abigail insists on only wearing pink or purple and only skirts or dresses (preferably those that have good spinning capacities) and never any pants or shorts. This summer Abigail is signed up for various arts and crafts day camps while Charlotte is doing a young writers camp, a naturalist camp, and astronomy camp. Your husband calls the girls Charlie and Abbie. You have never been a fan of nicknames but you find it endearing and love watching your husband with his girls. He really is a dedicated father, regularly making "dates" with each girl and allowing them to pick a special place for  dinner.

Your marriage has had some rocky moments and there was a brief separation when the girls were much younger, but lately things have been more solid. You can't really put your finger on what changed, but something has shifted. The current chaos in your life come from caring for your aging in-laws. Your father-in-law's dementia has really gotten worse, but your mother-in-law refuses to put him into a home and there have been some strange late night phone calls that have resulted in lots of tense conversations among your husband and his siblings. It makes you feel lucky to be an only child with parents who have already made plans for aging (the assisted living community where your aunt and uncle are currently living) and even their deaths. That was a weird Christmas present. Those decorative urns that they presented to you for their remains, but in retrospect it certainly makes things easier when the time comes.

As a product of single-sex education, you never had any second thoughts about enrolling the girls at Stoneridge and you have all been happy with that decision, especially after Katie Ledecky's Olympic victory which brought even more prestige to the whole experience.  Your husband was initially a little hesitant, but quickly came around and he enjoys helping out with various school events. Your move to Chevy Chase a few years ago was perfect timing because all of you have developed some strong friendships, including with a few neighborhood families whose girls also attend Stone Ridge (well, everyone is nice except for that little bitch who was spreading nasty rumors about Charlotte last year). You enjoy hosting casual get-togethers with fun themes (Cinqo De Mayo! with a taco bar, A White Trash Party! mac and cheese, fish sticks, beer tasting, and short shorts). Your friends think these parties are a little over the top and tacky,  but they do enjoy your creativity. You make a yearly trip to NYC with two of your college friends for seeing a few shows and to do some serious shopping. Your favorite foods include your grandmother's peach cobbler (thank goodness your mom still had the recipe),  anything with fresh basil, and vienna sauages (yes, you know they are disgusting, but you still crave and love them). You enjoy reading Jodi Picoult, Barbara Kingsolver, and memoirs written by women who have endured some horrible event or life changing experiences. You have an infectious (but not annoying) laugh and beautiful, thick hair which you get styled at Aveda on a regular basis. [/quote]
