Liliana Perez

A couple years ago Kurt and I went up to Anacortes.  We decided to go to Storvic Park and Lili came with us.  The playground had been completely re-done by volunteers from the community.  To commemorate those who helped build it, names were carved into the (plastic) fence posts around the playground.  I noticed one of them had the name 'Liliana' on it which is Lili's name!  I got excited and called her over:
Me: Lili!  There's one with your name on it come and look!
Lili: Really?  Where?! 
Me: Right here.  See?  Liliana!  Let's take your picture with it!
Lili: Li-li-an-a. Yeah!  Wait....what's that?  What does that say?!!?  (pointing to the post)
Me: Perez.  That's the this Liliana's last name.
Lili:  Liliana Perez?  Who is Liliana Perez?  I'm not Liliana Perez!!!!

To my dismay she would no longer get her picture taken because Perez was not her last name.  Finally I convinced her to 'cover up' the last name with her hand while I took the picture.  The 'ez' is still in sight!
