Consequences

We like to ask the kids what we should name the baby. Usually, First Daughter suggests "Mama" and First Son's initial response is nearly always Mookie.

Last night at dinner, Kansas Dad and I were doing the suggesting and the kids were laughing as we tossed around names like Grammy, Asparagus, and Fork.

Kansas Dad mentioned Mookie and First Son immediately responded "We can call the baby Mookie, but what should we name the baby?" with my exact inflections.

So Kansas Dad suggested Bob. First Son laughed, "No, then the baby will turn all red!"
