Names

Today I flew home from NJ. My flight was early which meant in order to shower, drive to the Newark airport, dump the rental and grab a bite to eat before the flight it meant I was up at 3:00 am CST. For this girl that is freakin' early! So mid day I was draggin A and called it a day at the office and surprised the boys by picking them up from school. Lucas was so excited he nearly ran out of his coat right in the middle of the street. Today was also Dining with Dad day which equates to the bookfair. Aw a good day...so in the car I began the inquisition into how their day was which turned into this conversation:

Log: I don't like me name anymore.
M: Why? I picked that name out just for you and I love it.
Log: I just don't like it anymore. I want to be called Paul.
M: Why Paul?
Log: I just like it so you and Dad and Lucas & Kale start calling me Paul. Okay?
M: Well I'll really try to Paul but I've been calling you Logan for such a long time I might mess it up sometimes. It kind of makes me sad too because I really like Logan.
Log: Well how about this deal. At school I'll still be Logan and at home I'll be Paul.
M: I'll do my best. Do you want to maybe switch to your middle name?
Log: Nope my nickname is Paul. I just don't like Logan anymore.
Lucas: I don't like my name anymore either.
K: Me either.
Lucas: My new nickname is Lightning Thunder.
K: My new nickname is Paul Josh Zach.
M: Hmmmm...how about we just use our real names? Please?

Hours later I tell Steve all of this and he calls Paul, Lightning Thunder, & Paul Josh Zach in for dinner and Lucas has already changed his name to Lightning Fire.

Hoping this fad is short lived. Jorge, Beto & worker baby lasted for quite some time. Of course uncle Zach no longer goes by Joey J so there is hope.
