what?

Once there was a lady named Arline, she was very pretty. She married a tall handsome young man named Hoyd.

They had two sons, David and Ben (they had a daughter too, but she does not figure in this story -- sorry).

David grew up and married beautiful Miriam.

And they had a bunch of daughters, but the first they named Arline, after David’s beloved mother. (Arline’s other name is Marie after her other grandmother).

Then when Arline grew up she married steady Sid, and they had two sons.

Yep, you guessed it: David and Ben (they had another son and daughter some years later, but they don’t figure in this story either, even though they are very fine grand children).

There is a moral there somewhere. But the story is true and no names have been changed to protect anyone.
