What's in a Name?

Recently I was talking to Polly's engaging BFF about her arch nemesis: Katie. Katie, it seems, is one of those "dumb stuck-up" 10 year old types. And, Katie's father is some sort of big-wig in some company. Every chance Katie gets, she talks endlessly about her father's wonderful job. BFF mildly commented that she couldn't compete with that.

"Sure you can! Just tell her you personally know--and have stayed the night at the home of--the CEO of a corporation." Then I explained I was CEO of a corporation and Marty Sunshine was CFO (or CIO--I really don't remember which).

Polly's BFF was genuinely impressed. But, I wish she wasn't. It really isn't as glamorous as it sounds.

Just ask Katie's father.
