Teddy
For the starting time six days of my life, I didn't have a name. I was the 5th and last child built-in in my family unit. After Billy, Hillary, Nick, and Daniel, my parents couldn't determine on a name for little sometime me. For six days, I was known as the babe.
I say this considering my mom found a box of old babe pictures today while I was doing a jigsaw puzzle. She got all misty-eyed and blubbery, saying things like, Goo-goo, ga-ga,
and calling me babe names. That is, subsequently she finished yelling at my dog, Rags.
Mom says Rags is a shoe thief. But Ragsy just lies there, sprawled on the carpeting. He can't effigy out what the fuss is about. I think it's kind of funny. But Mom is missing three different shoes and she doesn't think it's funny at all.
And so anyhow, for six days my parents chosen me the baby.
They figured the correct name would pop into their heads. Past twenty-four hours four, the names that had popped into my dad's head were Carlos, Lars, Ferdinand, and Slippy.
(I think he was.)
Mom said, No, No, NO!
and "Slippy?! Are you trying to make me crazy?!"
On day 6, she said that I was as cute as a teddy bear.
Certain,
my dad agreed. A bald, pink, wrinkled teddy bear.
So they named me Teddy, even though my official name is Theodore Andrew Jones. No 1 ever chosen me Teddy, though. And that's a adept thing—since Teddy isn't a cracking name for a detective. A boy detective should be named Nick or Sam or Derek or Roscoe. You know, a cool, tough-sounding name.
