On Sunday Xander was telling me about his day at religious school.
He learned about Abraham and Sarah, who were in the Torah and who lived a long time ago.
Abraham, he proclaimed, stands for "Abraham Lincoln," his Halloween Hero.
"Actually," I broke it to him gently, "Abraham Lincoln was named after Abraham in the Torah. The Torah Abraham came first. Your brother Ari is named after your great-grandfather Abraham, we just called him Avraham, which sounds different. And he was named after the one in the Torah, too."
His jaw dropped open.
"THREE Abraham's?!" he exclaimed. "That's just crazy."
