Just a quick post before I head off to work…
Littlest Chick (my son, in case you’re new to my blog) was reading one of my blog posts the other day when he encountered his name. He’s like, “Mama, you call me Littlest Chick? Why would you do that when 1) I am the tallest in the family, and 2) I am not a girl, and “chick” sounds like a girl.”
Uh oh. My boy is turning into a man.
So, I’m on a quest to rename him. We sat down and googled words that mean “male chicken.” I won’t tell you the first word that came up, but in this day and age, let’s just say that I can’t use it to refer to him.
I want something that fits in with everyone else in the family. I am AuburnChick, of course, and soccer-playing daughter is, quite naturally, Soccer Chick. The Mr. is the Mr., much like Brad Pitt is known as Mr. Jolie. 😀
My creativity is kaput. I need your help. First, a few tidbits about the boy.
He’s a teenager, entering high school this year as a freshman. He plays drums and has a heart for the Lord. He’s quick to serve, recently returning from a week-long mission trip. He likes to swim, but I’m not sure that the high school swim team is in his future due to his interest in the drums. He’s forgetful and messy, as most boys are. He’s almost the tallest one in the family too. He’ll pass Mr. AuburnChick this year, I believe. He adores animals, and they know that, gravitating towards him. He also has a dry sense of humor…very witty, I tell you. Oh, and the best part? He still likes me. He’s not embarrassed to be nice to me in front of his friends. Kind of a Mama’s boy, but in a balanced way.
So, bring on the ideas, pretty please. The Littlest Chick would be most appreciative, as would I.
