Her name was Normandy. Before I met her the floor nurse said her name, I asked.... like the "beachhead"?
she said, "Yep, and oh she doesn't hear that all the time"
I laughed, my entire family heard the conversation. of course they missed the sarcasm and then when she showed up they proceeded to ask if her father was in WWII or her Grandfather... I imagine there were jokes about her sister being "Iwo Jima". I'm not sure what it is that we all make the most obvious uncomfortable jokes. I'm not a big fan of the "teasing"... I find it to be a just a mild form of cruelty.
