Thomas' mother keeps us well-dressed in Neumann College clothing. Thomas, Blake and I all have sweatshirts from the school, which is in Pennsylvania. That's about all I know about it, other than it's Catholic and they spell "Neumann" correctly.
Last Christmas, we received the wrong size sweatshirt for Thomas, so I called and talked to the bookstore manager about an exchange.
"You wouldn't believe how many Neumanns are out there," he told me. "This time of year, we send stuff to San Diego, Texas, Connecticut ...."
I didn't have the heart to tell him the San Diego and Connecticut Neumanns had gotten several gifts over the years from one Marilynn Neumann of San Marcos, Texas.
Tonight I was wearing my Neumann College sweatshirt, and Blake proudly read aloud the letters: "N-E-U-M-A-N-N!'
"Do you know what that spells?" I asked him.
He said very earnestly, "Yes." Then he paused.
"Shirt!"

I told this story to my mom who is a kindergartner teacher and she cracked up. She said her kids do stuff like that all the time and they are SOOO proud of themselves.
What college in Pennsylvania?
