Built For Speed

Tonight Foster Son said to me, "Your baby's name is Elise. But I'm going to call her Race Car."

The funny thing is, there's a sports car called a Lotus Elise. Check it out:



Now, I'm not a "car person." If someone asked me what kind of car I wish I had, I would probably say something like, "the most reliable and fuel efficient car that I could afford." I barely know the different car companies, much less specific models. And I am almost never, ever impressed with fancy, expensive cars.

The Lotus Elise looks pretty cool, though.

Maybe one day Elise will ask, "Mommy? How did you pick my name?" And I will lie and say, "Oh. Well, you were conceived on the hood of a Lotus Elise." Or I could be funny and say it was in the back seat.
