Ok, this conversation needs a little background. First of all, John and I pretty consistently talk about kid names. Because it’s fun. And also, he took me to hold small puppies last week. Because I was sad. This is from a chat whilst he was at work tonight:
John Hattaway says: I is back
Erin Hattaway says: I is glad
Erin Hattaway says: ok
Erin Hattaway says: I have another name
Erin Hattaway says: I need you to open your mind wiiiidddeeeee
Erin Hattaway says: is it open?
John Hattaway says: it is as wide open as my mind can ever b e
John Hattaway says: be
John Hattaway says: so…
Erin Hattaway says: ok
Erin Hattaway says: for a boy
Erin Hattaway says: Puck
John Hattaway says: my mind is suddenly and irrevocably CLOSED
Erin Hattaway says: I LOVE IT
Erin Hattaway says: LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
Erin Hattaway says: it
Erin Hattaway says: it’s so cute
John Hattaway says: and yet, I see a small gay boy dancing around in tights and makeup frolicking with animals and lecherous old men
Erin Hattaway says: and I DON’T CARE
John Hattaway says: but I love that you love the name
Erin Hattaway says: fine
Erin Hattaway says: I’m going to name my dog puck
Erin Hattaway says: I’m going right now
Erin Hattaway says: to that store
Erin Hattaway says: and buying that tiny dog
Erin Hattaway says: and naming him puck
John Hattaway says: okay
Erin Hattaway says: and no one will know
John Hattaway says: the dog was a girl dog
Erin Hattaway: But it’s the best name ever!
John Hattaway says: uhm
John Hattaway says: Puck is, by far, NOT the best name ever
John Hattaway says: imagine, for a moment, being at a mommy-child activity and someone saying, “Oh, what a cute little boy, what’s his name?”
John Hattaway says: and you say, “Puck.”
John Hattaway says: And then smile
John Hattaway says: and the other mommy’s look over
John Hattaway says: and then slowly pull their children away
John Hattaway says: for fear
John Hattaway says: of Oberon’s slave
John Hattaway says: If these spirits have offended
Erin Hattaway says: hahaha
John Hattaway says: think but this and all is mended
Erin Hattaway says: nooooooooo
John Hattaway says: that YOU have but slumbered here
John Hattaway says: while these visions did appear
Erin Hattaway says: sttooooppppp
