Origins of the Middle Name (According to a Kindergartener)

Karenna came home from school with a discovery...

Karenna: Mom, my friend doesn't know what her middle name is.  She says she doesn't have one, but everyone has one.
Me: Maybe she doesn't.  Not everyone has a middle name.  Some people just have a middle initial.  And your great-grandfather doesn't have a middle name.
Karenna: But everyone has to have a middle name. Or what would parents do when they're bad?
