It's my MONIKER.
It was very popular in 1956, when my parents chose it because my aunt convinced them "Elisa" wouldn't work.
She was suggesting too many nicknames that none of us liked.
(Yes, I voted..in the womb..which is why I arrived two weeks early..kicking and screaming)
Yet..it's the Year of the Karen, and a bunch of people who share my perfectly OK name were interviewed on TV last night.
And they were not happy Karens.
Ironically, the person who supposedly inspired this white privileged stereotype ,in 2014, was Kate(not Karen, KATE) Gosselin.
My question is: If they needed to pick a Special K name that would represent a bitchy, obnoxious, entitled woman..
Why not Kourtney? Kendall? Khloe?
I, for one, would have been oKAY with that:)
