Kitten naming

Driving home yesterday from Nona's house in PA, crossing the Tappan Zee bridge.

I: Jonas, get what we are going to do when we get home tonight? We're going to Manna's house to meet her new kittens. What do we think we should name them?

J: One should be Julian.

I: No, Jonas, someone else is going to get that name.

J: One should be "Jesse"

I: OK. What should we name the other one?

J: (Looks up out the window for a second, lost in thought) "Bridge Token"

S: (In driver's seat, her jaw drops) Why did you say that?

J: I don't know.

S: Just as he said that, we went under a big sign that said that!

Note: Neither of us had read the sign out loud. We have a fastpass, so never discuss tokens. Maybe one of us read it on another trip across the bridge?
