Ok, I have been trying to think of a way to blog about our country names so that we can remember this ridiculous time of our lives, but I guess the best way is to just say it.
One day, Justin decided we needed country names, so together he and Hunter came up with them. Mind you, I am aware that Hunter Wayne is the countriest of all country names...so that is part of the irony. Please do not be offended if one of our country names hits you wrong...that is the point: we are idiots 'round these here parts.
So Justin and Hunter named me Betty. As part of the joke, I always argue with them and say "no, my name is Mommy!" and get all mad! To which, Hunter and his Daddy say "you're Betty! We LOVE YOU BETTY!!" then I act more and more mad. It's funny to us, so whatever.
There are 2 really particularly dumb stories that go along with this. First: Hunter's new favorite song is "black Betty" he and Justin play it really loud and sing to it. Black Betty is from Birmingham, according to the song. I, too, was born in Birminghan, so my boys took that as a sign that they are right and I am wrong, I MUST be Betty!
Also, the other night, Hunter said "hey Mommy! You're Betty!! Haha!" and I said "nah, my name is Flo" to which he responded "no, Betty, Flo is at home with Uncle Zak!"
Well...the country names have spilled over to the rest of my family. Here, I introduce you to (from back to front and left to right, in order of appearance):
Cletus and Flo
Edith and Jed
Bob, Betty, Hank and Bill
We realized when writing this post that Ray and Anjalesa have not yet had submitted and approved names. When that happens I will let you know.
You're welcome.
