What's the deal?


Why all of the references to castles, kings & queens? When Tommie was picking his yahoo e-mail address, he decided to be the king. So, I said that if he was the king, that makes me the queen! So, we became the king and queen of Payne. With a last name like Payne, you get a lot of name jokes. It is a challenge to come up with e-mail addresses and children's names that don't fit the "pain" connotation. If you take the Payne name in its historical form - Queen's English, it makes you think of royalty and regality. (Is that a word - regality?) Regal-ness? We once even had a website that was The Payne Kingdom with our three little princes' photos on it. :o)


Thank you, dictionary.com, for this "regal" information:
