A Frog By Any Other Name

When time came to pray for their new miniature (live) pet frogs last night (I'm not joking), Ian mentioned his by name, "Frog", and then asked Daniel what *his* Frog's name was. Daniel thought for a minute and then answered, "Cemetery." Ian groaned in horror, so Daniel accommodated his squeamish brother, and, on the spot, re-named his frog "Sunglasses."

[Ian mentioned that he had chosen his frog's name from the two options of "Frog" and "Water"...]

I asked Daniel why he had chosen "Cemetery," and he very logically explained that he likes cemeteries. (They are open spaces with lots of grass to run around on, after all.) I guess he must like sunglasses, too...
