6 Things...(Thing #2)

1. Now we can first start out by **blaming my parents for naming me Ginnie. That's what happens when you have 8 kids- you kind of have to scrape the bottom of the barrel with the last kids names since you've already used the good ones. For example; by the time Nate and I have our 13th child we will probably have to name it Bonquesha if it's a girl (to stay true to our new roots in Philly) or Pubert for a boy (because that name just rocks!). If by the slightest chance I become famous between now and child number 13 I'll probably go with Apple or Tomato.

I once had a substitute teacher mispronounce my name during roll call calling me guinea... I was not amused. Every one else was though. Every now and then I'll still get the occasional guinea pig (you know who you are).

In high school people use to always call me genie in a bottle (thanks to Christina Aguilara). Usually that phrase was followed by- where's my 3 wishes?....funny, huh!
This must be said in your best Forrest Gump voice. Jennay, I might not be a smart man, but I know what love is... Yes, this one is a classic. Some things just don't die with age.

And finally... No, Ginnie is not short for Virginia. I'm glad we could clear that up.

Oh, and thanks to me, every one's new favorite name to call me is now ginjohn (I take full responsibility for that one)

Hey it could be worse. My parents were going to name me Taleece. **Mom & Dad I really do like my name...no worries, I still love you.

Ahh nick names, have to love them, although GinJohn sounds like a restroom in a bar, might not want to take credit for coming up with that one... :)

Where did you come up with Pubert?! I love that name, it totally rocks! I think I may have to steal it. ;) ha ha.

Ginnie, you killed me with your children's names. Whenever you do end up having another I think you had better go ahead and jump on using one of them, because you never know when your last could be. In fact, every child you have from here on out should have an equally "memorable and dignified" name. Pubert...was a name.

The guinea pig name made me laugh so hard. You could use the name "soda" or "seven" Oh, and you plan on how many kids now?

I laughed my head off on this one. You better hurry and use Pubert before I have another baby, cuz' you know I only have the boy recipe.

You are a funny girl, Gin.
And I am Tonic, aren't I? I believe that was a Tyler Twissism.
