What’s in a Name

on May 29, 2013

One of my friends told me that her 5-year-old son has trouble pronouncing some of the sounds in his name, so he asked to be called “Ice” instead. I LOVE it! There are times, after a long day of hearing, “Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? …” that I wish I could change my name too. I think I’d choose a Native American name, such as
“Wise One With Large Breasts.” Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she?
