What amusing picture did Helen paint of her father during her naming ceremony?
Answers
During her naming ceremony, Helen paints a lovely, funny and amusing picture of her father, Arthur Keller. Being the first born child, her parents and everyone were very eager to name her with the best name and were highly emphatic about it.
EXPLANATION:
Her father wanted to name her as Mildred Campbell, an old ancestral relative whom he admired a lot.
However, her mother insisted that she be named after her grandmother as Helen Everett. Finally, it was her mother who won the naming race because of her father’s forgetting nature. When her father carried her to the church for the naming ceremony, her father forgot the name that he had decided in his mind to tell the church minister.
All that he remembered was that she be named after her grandmother and so the minister named her Helen Adams. Helen recalls that her father had forgotten the name in all the excitement and also because he never wanted to accept that.
