Response to my dialogue from the girl now named "Stumpy":
actually, the conversation was more like:
<all done in thick asian accent>
mother: ooh, new baby!
father: hmm, our first baby in america.
mother: we call her "america"
father: or "ameca" (author's note: I actually know a girl from psu named
ameca)
mother: how about "amere"?
father: no, that sounds like hip hop artist who dressed like ho and
makes millions of dollars. she must be doctor or engineer!
mother: we will call her "doctor who will take care congenital absence
of one or more limbs"
later that afternoon at the birth registration office...
father: we name her "doctor who will take care congenital absence of one
or more limbs"
registrar: what? I can't understand what you're saying? congenital
absence of one or more limbs?? oooh, you mean, amelia? okay, how do
you spell that? a-m-e-l-i-a? perfect!
