scratch that

i'm really happy we never went with caleb and madeline now that i've had time to use them. now to work on william xavier, winston xavier or ___. i keep waiting for the perfect name we never gave the youngest to occur to me so i can work it over in this blog, too. hence owen before although it belongs to a few special kids in our existing circle.

i really loved joshua. maybe i go with that.

thanks to vern the kids have started calling me 'mambo'. as in 'hey, mambo! mambo italiano...!' nice. i never minded 'mamacita'. which is probably why they're now so hooked on changing it.

this is why i do not seek a following. this post has no relevance to anyone but the people i live with. how the wife worked out her crazy woulda-shoulda notions regarding baby names...

    really? you never minded mamacita? I guess I never liked that, images of those yucky geosynthetics workers with their limited English yelling, "Hey Mamacita!" at me. Blech.

  2. ha. grady! good call.

    "mamacita, donde esta santa claus, where is santa claus, it's Christmas eve..." vern started it after the cute little Christmas diddly. what would sound odd and off-putting from him in english is remarkably sweet in spanish. plus i feel like i'm being called 'little' and 'little' anything in reference to me i see in a positive light. :)

i have nothing witty to say here, but i think it's fun when other people do.
