   • 2009, Caroline B. Cooney, If the Witness Lied, Random House LLC, →ISBN, page 38:

     Cheryl is a woman of few interests: she will be watching TV or she'll be out shopping.
     "Cheryl" is a soft, round, pleasant name. "Cheryl" sounds like a person who listens to classic rock, irons aprons and plays bunko. In fact, she's not an aunt at all. She's a glorified housekeeper.
