The Mom: Just reading about Hurricane Joaquin. Joaquin. What’s up with that name? You know some local weather guy is butchering the name like “Hurricane Joe-A-Q-In”. Or “Joa-Queen”.
The 17 y.o.: Joaquin is chill. It sounds like a big, bad storm name. Not girly like “Nancy”. Or “Sandy”. Who’s gonna run away from “Hurricane Diane”? These are not big, bad storm names. Nancy sounds like she runs a call center in Iowa and reports to Diane.

PS. It’s not the first time my eldest has expressed her opinion about hurricanes. Flash back with this gem of a conversation from 2011 between my eldest (who was 12 at the time) and middle daughter (9 at the time).
