Anonymous asked: Did you get teased about your name as a child?

Of course. There are no names to which the jabs of children do not stick. All the regular boy names also mean penis, or toilet, or solicitor-of-prostitutes, and everything rhymes with something terrible. I lived a delightful stretch, though, when those who taunted me with rhymes went with the mundane and nearly-pleasant “bag,” before they knew that a crueler word was out there.

My own children: I will simply enumerate them.
