And He Shall Be Called Skippy…
My oldest son has never had a proper nickname for this blog. The younger has been known as ‘Steak’ for a very long time. In fact, the best I could do for the oldest was to actually refer to him as ‘The Oldest’.
Well, no more!
See, he’s four and has to have the remote control when watching television. And he’s not real patient. So it’s constantly skip forward, skip forward, skip forward.
I said, ‘Knock it off, Skippy.’
And a nickname was born.
(I reserve the right to modify this nickname repeatedly using ‘skip’ as the base, for example, Admiral Skiperstein.)

Or how about ‘Skippy Von Skipperson’ LOL ‘The Skipmeister’ or ‘Sir Skipsalot’ I could keep going

I prefer that to the Oldest, which had a Buffy-bad-guy vibe to it. I mean, sure, toddlers can be evil, but not murderously so.

And if one of these two kids has ‘anger issues’, it’s definitely Steak.
