I’m thinking of renaming my son
My son William turned one year last month. I’m thinking of giving him a new name. There’s nothing wrong with “William”, it’s just that I think he should have a name that reflects his personality and skills more appropriately. I’m thinking I may rename him “Monkey Boy”. Yes…”Monkey Boy Jackson” has a nice ring to it don’t you think?
You see, William Monkey Boy is a climber. He climbs everything - just throws caution to the wind and goes for it. I’ve removed him from the kitchen table three times this morning, and it’s not even 9:30am yet.
Monkey Boy is also notorious for the mischief he gets into. He likes to play in the toilet…splash, splash, splash! What fun! I managed to stop him from doing that this morning in the nick of time. He alerted me to his plans by banging the toilet seat a few times first.
Monkey Boy has long monkey arms. He uses these long arms for reaching up and grabbing glasses with small amounts of liquid left in them from the counter or the edge of the table. He likes to dump this liquid on his head. Unattended bowls of oatmeal are also lots of fun!
So, until he begins to display some new dominant qualities or talents, I think that Monkey Boy shall be his name.

This is a novel concept, shouldn’t we give all the other kids names such as this too?
Lets see, the boy could be, uh….Craps when doing dishes. Or maybe “huh?”
Elizabeth could be “Sweetie Pie-temper fit”
Teresa could be “Mess-makerr 10,000″
William could be “Monkey Boy”, that’s certainly much nicer than the names that float around in my head all day. The very nicest of which is “Little Booger”, “Stretch-Arms, Super Brat, and certainly “Spider Baby”.
Has it occurred to you where he gets this tendency??? I must plead guilty.
