maybe we should have named him Ed

Silas got his first unforunate nickname—from my friend whose name comes straight out of "Old MacDonald," no less.

Brooke and I met Marieio for lunch yesterday, and as you might expect, Silas came up in conversation. I will attribute it to Marieio not knowing all the details of New Testament history rather than intentional meanness—at least, it came across as more of an accidental/ignorant-of-pronunciation slip than intentional meanness. Anyway, at some point during the meal, Marieio asked about—and I'll spell it as he pronounced it and you know the word—Cialis.

Luckily, most elementary school kids wouldn't know how to pick on his with that joke. I hope.

    I am just hoping that product goes off the market before Silas hits school age. No nicknames after ED drugs, thank you. Poor kid.

    And I'm serious about Marieio only being allowed to call him Andrew. (Ha, Firefox underlines Marieio's name as part of its spell-checker-- ha ha!)

    Just call him Tadalafil instead--"Phil" for short.

    one of my favorite moments in college (at wku) was when my "sexuality in society" teacher passed out a pamphlet called "chlamydia is not a flower"
