Seriously? How could they not see this coming?
Lets do a run-down of the children shall we?
1) Firstborn: John
Nickname: John (There isn't one. It's a boring name, not much you can do about that.)
2) Runner Up: Elijah
Nickname: Eli (a freaking awesome name for a prophet, high priest and judge in the Bible.)
3) Third Place: Mary
Nickname: Mare-Mare (OK I'm actually the only one who calls her that.)
Now with the problem children....
Catherine
Nickname (BESTOWED UPON HER BY HER PROGENITORS): "Kitty". OK, it's not horrible I guess. It just kind of sounds like a prostitute from an old west movie.
Lydia
Nickname: "Litty"
The last two are inseparable. So whenever mom or dad calls out "Kitty" they usually have to call for "Litty" too. I usually wake up in the morning to a chime of "Kitty-Litty".
Now I'm not a parent, and I'm really not that into baby names, but parents who name their children after something a cat poops on should face legal retribution.
The worst part is how everyone treats them. If you came to visit and didn't know I had two teenage sisters, you would swear she was talking to two cats who just happen to live at our house.
And then you'd see how my mom and dad literally (joke ha!) treat them like cats, spoiling them, instead of teaching them to be ladies.
Is it any wonder they're turning out that way now?
