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.

    3. Ha! But if that were true, your name would actually mean “Hot Ass Kicker”.

    7. On http://www.name-meanings.com it says “wealthy.” Maybe there are multiple meanings. It is a Hebrew name.

    8. Yeah, I went to that link, and it looks like it means wealthy and God’s grace and a few other things.
