Raising Opposites

On karate nights, Mr. BBM will often paint with the girls. They use water colors and they really look forward to painting with Daddy. I got home after the girls were in bed and Mr. BBM showed me what they had created tonight.

Mr. BBM: (Shows me Big I's painting) "This is a girl and over here it says something about a garden."

Me: "It looks like 'In the Garden, Oh So Beautiful.' Nice!"

Mr. BBM: "Yeah something like that."

Mr. BBM: "Here is Lil C's."

Me: "Hmm, what's that?"

Mr. BBM: "Um, she said that is a dead girl."

Me: "Great."

This is why you should really be careful when you name your children. Big I's name means "consecrated to God." Lil C's? "Prophetess of Doom."

Yep, I'd say it fits.
