Since they started their new school, the twins have been coming home talking about their friend "Malaria". I figured that they had just misheard the poor child's name, and attempted to clarify.
Me: Malaria? That's not really a name. Do you think maybe her name is Valeria?
Izzie: No. It's Malaria.
Elijah: It's really Malaria.
Izzie: See mom, her name *is* Malaria.
Me: uhm, maybe it's Gloria?
Izzie: (Facepalm and Eyeroll) Mom! I already told you. It's not Gloria and it's not Valeria. Her name is really Muh-lair-ee-ya (spoken *very* slowly, for emphasis). Just believe me, okay?
Me: Well, I certainly can't argue with you....
