My name is John (0 Comments)
KJ was 2 when people started asking her name. She wouldn’t answer. I was busy with a 6 month old and realized that I hadn’t made sure she really knew what her name was. So I asked her- what IS your name?
“John.”
What? Thinking she said Sean.
“John.”
Where did that come from? Did she really think her name was John?
I asked some more questions and determined that she did know her own name.
But for the longest time she told people her name was “John” although most of the time people didn’t understand her anyway.
The other day at the breakfast table she asked why we didn’t name her Johnny.
I did point out that her middle name is the female Germanic version of John; otherwise it was just a dumb oversight on our part.
