Tick Wisdom


"Everybody was a baby once. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once... Babies, chum! Tiny dimpled fleshy little mirrors of our us-ness...that we parents hurl into the future like leathery footballs of hope. And you gotta get a good spiral on that baby or evil will make an interception.
Ready?
One, three, thirteen, twenty-six, hike!
Go deep! Go deeper!
~The Tick (cartoon superhero)

PS - 22 days & counting...only 4 shifts of work left...down to only a half-billion things on the to-do list. :)

Baby #2 for Little #1! Thats major! Names? Boy or girl? I vote for Ryan if its a boy and how about...Ryan if its a girl?! Its funny, Beth has two friends, girlfriends, named Ryan. Ive never heard that name used for a girl before.

Actually, I love the name Ryan for a girl (or boy - we don't know yet) but it's very trendy again - guess you're ahead of your time! We've been trying to avoid names of people we know in general, but if you don't mind...who knows?!
A friend's friend just had a baby and named him Sylence! How cruel can parents be?!

Parents can be cruel. This trend of naming children wild and bizarre names will definitely give ammo to those children with rhyming skills. Now if you want a good name for a boy look no further than action, JACKSON.

Lorraine said...

Well, I can tell you that this little duffers name will have no rhyming in it!

You under estimate my name rhyming imagination......Lorraine!!
