The sad case of bad pseudonyms!

Ever since ASid and I attended the book launch, the boys have wondered if their Momley is ever going to write about them?! Who wouldn't want someone to write about them?! As long as it is someone they trust, it is an exciting prospect.

They actually asked if I was ever going to write about them. I indicated that that's a possibility. They immediately wanted to know what I was going to call them. Without hesitation, I said ASid and Hans!

ASid was like "Why don't you just call me Acid?!" He did not like the pseudonym at all. He actually calls himself Phoenix and that's his preference.

Hans was like "What?!" And I was like "Hans is short for Han Solo! Isn't that exciting?" And Hans was like "Who wants to be a guy with a hairy chest?! Seriously?!" Hans would rather be called Ash!

Phoenix and Ash - it is almost poetic. They definitely did a better job than their Momley. However, I am sticking with what I have!

I will grudgingly admit that there is room for improvement. Who names their friends C, G, P and Y?! These are the 4 I see most frequently. I could have been more creative. The lack thereof is a testament to why my future as a writer is bleak! Oh well!

The fact that I am able to document a part of the boys' lives is enough for now. In this day and age, everyone is a writer of sorts. There are thousands of blogs. Some sprout and die within days, and some survive to tell a tale. This blog has survived quite literally because of the two best content providers ever. If the boys weren't as interesting as they are, I wouldn't be as inspired as I am. When they do get here, it is a testament to who they are!

Thank you boys and forgive me for the undesirable pseudonyms.
