It makes me proud how weird my son is. Is that weird to say? Maybe its just because my husband says he gets it from me and considering both of my children are clones of their dad I will take what I can get. At least once a day he makes me laugh...a sincere laugh...not one of those fake ones I have to do when he says "I dove you" or "I glove you" or "I bove you." He is actually funny sometimes. From early on he has had some interesting names for people. I have always been "Bobby." No clue why, we don't even know anyone named Bobby, and clearly I am not a man so I have no idea why thats what he calls me. And to make it even weirder its not all the time. For the most part I am good ole Mommy but out of the blue sometimes I am Bobby. He has also made up his own slang word: dontch. I am pretty sure its a cuss word. As in "You're a dontch mommy" when I don't do something fast enough. Disrespectful: yes. Genius: absolutely.
The other day Oliver was going through the usuals before bedtime...I am hungry, I need a drink, ruv my back, read me another book...when he pulled out a name I hadn't heard before. He couldn't find his stuffed dog and wanted a replacement friend to sleep with so he asked for "Barry." Something about that name just sounded odd. I mean its one thing to call me Bobby but now you want to sleep with Barry?! I was about to google "kids naming things weird man names" to see if in fact my kid could be a future psychopath when he found Barry!
a.k.a Beary
Phew.
