It's All In How You Say It!

On the way to church today B and I were having a conversation and I really have no idea how it started but I think I said something to the effect of, "we'd better have all girls because we can't agree on any boy names." Then I believe he said that I like weird names (which may be partially true). Anyhow I went on to say his famous quote that he always told me before we found out we were having a girl which is, "that's not a name, it's a word!" Now I believe this started because I liked the name Gage for a boy but spelled Gaje and then he said, "that's not a name it's a word!" Well I believe I told him that neither Gage nor Gaje were words, that he was thinking of gauge with a "U" and even though they sound the same are totally different. Anyways...so he goes on to say how people name their kids weird names like Apple so I jokingly said "we can have a little boy name Naranja" (which means orange in Spanish) he just rolled his eyes and said his other famous quote, "that's a HORRIBLE name." I laughed and ran with it so I went through all the colors that I know in Spanish until I reached Amarillo (yellow). When I got to this one I kind of paused for a second because I really liked it. And then I repeated it with this sexy Spanish accent and then it sounded really, really good so I told him that it would sound awesome to anyone that didn't speak Spanish (and it really would)! At that point B shouts out, "but what about those people that do speak Spanish" to which I had no reply. Going on from there I went to Verde (green) and though I didn't really like that one I then said Verdad (which means truth) and I paused again because I really like it! Actually would like to name my kid Verdad or Truth. I dunno what it is but I love the way Truth sounds as a name. Just my luck I'd name a kid Truth and he'd be a pathological liar. Anyway, we're not having any babies any time soon so I still have time to work on him...although I suspect that all the time in the world won't get him to agree to any of the names (or words) listed above. But then again...it's the mother that they give the birth certificate to ;-)

We're quite the couple, really, our conversations would probably keep people laughing constantly. We both tend to take things to the extreme...the in-betweens are boring!
