We were discussing our heritage in my family the other day. All three boys were amazed when I told them that my Grandaddy claimed to have Indian blood. They thought it was so cool that they may be part Indian.
I explained to them how it was believed that names were chosen among tribe members and asked if they wanted me to chart out what their names would be. All three gave a resounding YES!
I spent quite a while going over various calendars and other facts about their births and our lives, and finally gave them the results:
#1's name would have been:
Runs With Scissors
#2's name would have been:
Bounces Off Walls
and finally #3's would have been:
Screams At Shadows
They didn't find it amusing. I laughed for quite a while.
Hey Screaming Squirrel/Leaping Lizzard, can you relate to that?
