The D Man
Just let me be That Person for one day, okay?
I have to think of a name for my latest, adorable, perfect newphew. I can't tell you his real name, but I will tell you that the obvious nickname is Double D. However, Billi won't let me use that one.
I was also thinking of Back-up. I mean, they have one boy and one girl, and now one boy in reserve. In case they have to sell The Boy Child to the gypsies. For his own good.
(It's a well-known fact that, as a child, my father sold me to the gypsies, but the gypsies brought me back.)
Then I was toying with the idea of making the new one The Boy Child, and changing the current Boy Child to The Unholy, or simply Spawn. But that would just get too confusing, I think.
Any good name ideas floating around in your brain cavities?
Some possibly helpful factoids:
* He was 8 lbs. 9 oz. at birth.
* His hair forms a natural mohawk.
* Dude has a sucking instinct that impressed even the longtime nurses who thought they've seen everything.
Yeah, he's a big boy. Size being relative, I'm always terrified of newborn infants. I have purses bigger than he is! On the other hand, I look at this big chunk and think, That came out of my sister! Oh my God! And then I buy her presents.
Comments
The well-known approach in royal circles: "An heir and a spare". You could call the new one "the spare".
BTW, Double D is what my sweetie calls me. I can't return the favor any more, though, as she's gone up to a triple in the last year. (Yipe!! Them things is dangerous, I tellya!!)

Oh, and Punk Rock Baby? He's not alone. One friend of mine kept remarking on her son's hair, until...

TENACIOUS D!!! Why didn't I think of that?!
P.S. The thought of Boy Child ruling anything is bone-chilling.

Remember, you keep me around for the heavy thinking. Just earning my keep.
