This was the announcement Ellie, excuse me, Elisabeth made today. She told her teacher she would now be Elisabeth. She told her ballet teacher, the Fabulous Miss Kathleen, the same thing.
At dinner, she told us all she never wanted to be Ellie again.
I should have seen this coming. Yesterday she told me she didn’t like her name. “Ellie!” she spat out. “ELLIE!ELLIE!ELLIE!”
My hunch is that she wants to use her Biblical name because she’s going through a phase where she’s obsessed with a certain Bible DVD (more on that in a different post).
Or she’s growing up and this is her way of differentiating herself from Sam.
Who, incidentally, doesn’t call her Ellie.
He still calls her hon.
