So and So Anderson

I was reading a book to Jack today about two children called Poppy and Sam. Jack asked which kid was older. I told him that I thought Poppy was older because they always say her name first. I then continued to explain that normally I would say Jack and Theo versus Theo and Jack because Jack is older.

Very astutely, Jack then showed he understood by stating that I would say Theo before the new baby's name. I said yes. I told him I would probably normally say 'Jack, Theo, and So and So'. Jack then looked at me and said, 'is that what we are going to call the baby?'.

I then decided to play along and said, 'do you like it?' to which he said it again 'So and So'. You could tell he was thinking about it and then he said, 'yeah, I like it.' So there you have it, let So and So Anderson enter the list of possible baby names.

The question "Who is older?" is very Brianesque. So And So has a nice ring, and it is easy to spell. So And So Anderson. I like it!

At least no one else in the family has already claimed that name! :D

I think this is hilarious. I am like your friend, Jill. I was rolling. I called Nana and read it to her and she loved it. Jack is a hoot!
