Get over here, Clever!


A friend's daughter, a newly-arrived diplomat in Zimbabwe, writes:

"People here are quite sweet and gentle and have the most wonderful names. So far I have met a Talent, a Clever, an Obvious, two Innocents, an Okay, and several Shepherds. Also I am told that it is quite common for the youngest child in a family (boy or girl) to be named Nomore."

This heroic woman flew from San Francisco to Zimbabwe, changing planes twice, with a two-and-a-half-year-old and a nine-month-old.  I ask you!  And a very helpful, team-player husband.  When they arrived, an African nanny took over the baby, strapping her to her back.
