Worst Name Compilation

Some of the worst names I have heard put on children:

Lice (boy)
Erotica (girl)
Assineen (girl)
Loser (boy, went by "Lou")

These are all real.. Any one have any more to add? Real only, please!

Tu-tuu

Stephen's new word: tu-tuuu (Thank You.)

He uses it all the time in the right contexts and it is so cute. You give him a drink and he says, Tu-tuu!

You hold the door open for him and he says, Tu-tuu!

You say, Stephen, can you tell the lady thank you? And he says, Tu-tuuu!

Sarah's word was gan-ku. I seem to remember that being Aunt Anne's pronunciation when she was little, too.

"The Wick Men"

At Uncle Bo's House in 2012

Tell Stephen

Sarah (angry): Papa, Stephen took my toy and now he is not sharing with me and I don't like it because he should share!

Papa: Well, tell Stephen that.

Sarah (angry, to Stephen): That!

Papa (laughing): Well, I meant tell him how you feel.

Sarah (to Stephen): How you feel!

Papa (shaking head)

Can't Sleep

Papa: I can't sleep.

Mama: Well, then why don't you get up and do something productive, like go wash the dishes?

Papa: Thank you so much for helping baby, I am starting to get sleepy already!

Eating Babies

Sarah has concluded all by herself that mothers eat their babies, since, of course, they have them in their tummies.

Sometimes she has crackers in her hand and says that they are babies that she is eating.

Papa (testing her reaction): Sarah, when you were very little, Mama ate you up, and that is why you were in her tummy.

Sarah (laughs): Silly Papa!

(Maybe she is growing out of it now.)

Remembering Terry Bartos

This morning Terry Bartos passed away. She will be remembered as the daughter of a hard-fighting woman and someone who went through many trials and troubles in her life.
