Baby Naming
I've been at my parents' house this week, and the other day we were talking about the Native American custom of mothers naming their children the first thing they saw after giving birth. (Running Deer, etc.) If I had followed this custom, my kids would have names like "Operating Room Ceiling," "Face of Anesthesiologist," and "Husband Passed Out Cold on Floor."
OK, that last one never happened. So what would your kids' names be?

You never heard the one about the brother named "Running Deer", the sister named "Soaring Eagle" and the youngest named "Pooping Dog?"...That's a classic.

I could do "Husband Passed Out Cold On Floor"!
Flashes in Face
Running Water (I cried uncontrollably after each one!)

According to this tradition, my son would likely be named "Obstetrician Coming At My Nether Regions With Large Needle".

If it was up to fathers to name the babies, then both of mine would have the name "Gasping Speechless on the Telephone."
They're adopted, you see!
