Thats right, we finally named our little girl!
Just kidding. Her name is not Roger, although if you read on you will find out why Mick might call her that.
So this all started when Mick and I were going through his Sesame Street book, looking at all the characters. Even though I do have a child, it had been a long time since I had seen the show. Remembering all the characters names is a little tricky. I watched enough as a kid myself to remember Elmo, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie and Grover. Of course, my curious little man pointed to the big, orange creature and looked at me for the name. I had no idea, so I made it up. I named him Roger. Not thinking this would become a problem we continued to call him Roger through the rest of the book. I told Kevin about it when he got home and using his brilliance, he used the world wide web to look up the actual name. Its Telly. So the next time we read the story, I try to transition Roger into Telly. But Mick just wont let his mommys mistake slide. No, Roger is still his name, and this happened months ago. Not only that but every once in awhile we will be reading a story and come across a character he is not familiar with and he will call it Roger. Roger lives on.
Moral of the story, never make things up to your kids.
