Spelling

"And this website, where they show everyone who's buried in this cemetery," continues my father, talking about the woman after whom my sister is named, "says that it's spelled A-L-I-N-E, Aline." He pronounces it "A-lean."

"Don't you think it should be spelled A-L-E-N-E, when you hear that?" my mom asks, trying to enlist support.

"I hear that you're trying to rename your child who is a full grown adult," Katie says, smiling.
