By Any Other Name

Eating hot dogs and fries at the beach,

Ed told the one about how a seagull once plucked a cheeseburger out of his brother’s hand.

Irene looked around.

“Do you mean that one, Daddy?”

She pointed at the nearest gull.

“Well, maybe it was that one,” he said.

“Do you mean Harry?”

And thus a seagull got his name.
