Name Calling

Here's a list of names I call my kids at times. The names are mostly interchangable between the two boys, except I never call W "LaLa" for some reason, and except where one of their names is involved. These nicknames are not particularly inventive, and frequently I have to apologize after I utter one or another of them (not because they offend my guys, but because I would scold them for using them for anyone else). Oh well. I've learned that comfort with hypocracy is pretty much a prerequisite for parenthood. So is a dynamically changing vocabulary.
