Martinez Family Journal

I was taking Matt, Drew and Matthew Heinstein to school last week, when Matthew started talking about his great grandmother. He calls her "Oma," which is a term Matt had never heard. Matt made it clear he thought the name was odd, but Matthew would have none of it. He told Matty, "Don't make fun of her name, because 'Oma' is a great name!" There was a pause, and Matt replied, "Well, it's…unique…" The way Matt said that dripped with insincerity, and I could hardly believe Matt had said that. Drew and I both got a laugh out of it, but Matthew did not seem to take offense.
