A TRUE STORY - to make you giggle…
My friends mum was a leading Paediatrician at a South London hospital. A lady and her daughter come in to see her.
Anna’s mum says to the little girl, ‘Hello, what’s your name?’
The little girl says, ‘Wivanee’...
‘Oh, that’s an unusual name’, and says to the mum, ‘How did you come to call her that?’...
‘Well, (says the mum in her Cockney accent), when she was born we couldn’t agree on a name.
The nurse came to the lady in the next bed and asked her what she was calling her baby and she said, ‘Anne Wivanee’.
‘We didn’t want the name Ann but we thought Wivanee was unusual so that’s what we called her’…
Anna’s mum says, ‘Can you just excuse me a moment please’ and goes into another room.
She holds onto the desk and shakes hysterically with laughter and has to wipe her tears of laughter and contain herself before going back..
Ann Wivanee - Anne with an E… You couldn’t make it up could you!
