Keeping ego out of it

I was filling out the roll sheet last night in the Kindergarten through Second Grade class at church.  I asked one girl how to spell her name.  I should add here that I am sensitive to name-spelling because my last name is so often misspelled (pluralized).  So I said, “Do you spell your name ‘K-R-I-S-T-A’?”

She said:  “You CAN spell it that way if you want, but I always spell it ‘C-H-R-I-S-T-A’.”

If I was in a bad mood, I’d make this an illustration on relativism.  But today I see it as a good lesson in self-forgetfulness.  :)
