Caroline’s nickname from her mom is “Schnecke,” meaning snail. This came about due to her older sister being a quick birth, with Stephanie racing around becoming “Maus” or mouse, and Caroline being a slow birth and taking her time to get to things. Not long after we met, I found this panel from Gary Larson and his comic The Far Side in a newspaper and immediately saw her and her father in this image. This was supposed to be framed decades ago, but instead, it sat in a crate of our belongings, growing yellow with time.
