Stage 6 Objects > Methods Code Challenge

I've tried about 10 different ideas and I have a feeling it's just something silly that I'm missing. Please help!

It's asking : "on 'andrew' and 'ryan', set the 'greet' method as the 'genericGreet' function.

Here's where I'm at now

var genericGreet = function() {
        return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
      };

      var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew",
        greet: genericGreet
      };

      var ryan = {
        name: "Ryan"
        greet: genericGreet
      };

Out of curiosity, why is it incorrect to say:

greet: genericGreet()

or

greet: genericGreet();

It's because of the parentheses :D They're not needed.

Wow, I think that signifies that it's time for bed. Thanks :)

if it helps I did the same thing. I kept thinking 'why is the greeting: not turning green?'
