(thinking he's awful young to be an uncle)Steven: Yes, my sister just had another baby.Me: Oh, that's great.  How old is your sister?Steven: 18Me: So was it a boy or a girl?Steven: It was a girl.Me: What's her name?Steven: Queen LatifahMe: (trying not to laugh) Really.Steven: And I guess she'll take her boyfriend's last name, of Warrior.  So it will be Queen Latifah Warrior.True story.I just couldn't imagine trying to go through life being Queen Latifah Warrior.</blockquote>
