Meme

My friend Paula tagged me to fill this out. It's a bunch of stuff you always wanted to know about me, except my most embarassing moment. You'll have to wait until the next playground game of Truth or Dare for that. Paula asked where the name Meme came from, suggesting it was of French etymology. I think the name comes from its subject: MeMe.

1. Were you named after anyone? No, my parents wanted my older sister to be able to call me baby Kris (Chris) while I was in utero.
2. When was the last time you cried? When Joshua threw up on me while Caleb dumped cheerios and milk on the floor. We were guests in a friend's house, to boot.
3. Do you like your handwriting? No. It was my worst mark in grade school, too. Needs improvement.
