Sometimes Ellie has it in her head that something or someone is called a certain name that sounds like something she knows and she sticks to it no matter how many times she corrected. It's frustrating and it reminds me of the year she spent arguing with me that the letter C wasn't called C. Fortunately for us, her preschool teacher laid down the law and Ellie capitulated and began calling the letter C by its proper name.
Now she's moved on to changing the name of a classmate's sibling. Her friend has a sister named Harmony. I know this is the child's name because I was standing in the kindergarten class room four years ago when the father came in and told us the name of their new baby. So what does Ellie call the child named Harmony, you ask? Homily. Yes, she thinks this child is named after her least favorite part of Mass. In fact, she has even asked me why her parents would name her Homily. I have explained numerous times that her name isn't Homily, it's Harmony, but Ellie's not buying it.
