Reginald Kenneth Dwight and Caryn Elaine Johnson Sitting in a Tree...

...Not using any technology.

Today's carpool discussion was centering around Elton John being interviewed on Whoopi's morning radio show.

Cubby said they should date because neither of them likes to use new technology. They don't need none of those new fangled computer thingys. I will say, only Whoopi mentioned that nothing is better than a good vest but I do believe Sir Elton will agree.

This led to Emily wondering if Elton John legally changed his name since he was knighted and all. I figured they knighted him Sir Elton John, nee whatever (which turned out to be Reginald Kenneth Dwight). The odd thing is the word nee. Nobody ever says that word out loud. Emily thinks it may be the first time she heard it.

Then we discussed the pregnant man. Emily doesn't understand why that lady married him since he didn't get all the parts necessary to complete the task. I don't understand why I didn't marry a half transgendered man who could carry the children so I wouldn't have to.

So, in conclusion, we need better morning radio shows here. Also, Whoopi and I have the same name but spelled different. I am Karen Elaine and she is Caryn Elaine. I better find me a good vest and quick.

I don't know what to think of this story.

I'm going to recommend the Flylady's vest. It has pockets in the front. People just love it. I do not wear vests.

Additionally, I talked to my sister Karin and explained that she must have been named after you, who must have been named after Whoopi, but she just didn't buy it.

I think I would like to marry a half transgendered man to bear my children for me, too. F the pregnancy thing.

perhaps if my name were karen/karin/caryn and i had a good vest, then i too could live a fulfilling and happy life in which i had stimulating morning conversation instead of the callow tripe that is on npr every morning.
