This is my son,
River August. I call him "Riv" for short
You Say: What a handsome name!
You Think: Ugh, Riv? That's an affectionate nickname--not something that should be used often.
This is my daugther,
Charlotte Agnes. I call her "
Lottie" for short.
You Say: How lovely! I think
Agnes is beautiful.
You Think: Too bad
Charlotte is common as dirt. I do like
Lottie, though I think Tatty's sweeter.
These are my twins sons,
Hayden Elijah, and
London Sage.
You Say: Hi,
Hayden! Hi,
London!
You Think:
London's acceptable only with the surname Pike.
Hayden? How tryndee.

I need the smell of summer--
I need its noises in my ears.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
