"If I was going to change my name, what name do you think would be nice for me?" Mother asked Daughter.

"I dunno".

"Think."

Daughter put her finger to her mouth and smiled a self-conscious thinking smile. She looked down at one pigeon who had one pink feather on it's wing.

"Jennifer." she said.

"Why Jennifer?"

"It's pretty."

"Like Elizabeth?"

"Yeah, I like that too."

"What about Olive?" said Mother, throwing a crust to a pigeon who looked a little sick.

"You mean like in Pop-Eye?"

"Yeah."

"That's stupid."
