1. Here are my daughters, Gertrude and Prudence
Think: Old-fashioned. That's all I have to say
Say: Oh...cool!
2. Here is my son, Dick
Think: Love the name, but the kid's get bullied real bad...you do realize that, right?
Say: Hi, Dick!
3. Here are my triplets, Cyan, Violet and Magenta
Think: Oh...my god.
Say: Um-
4. Here are my sons, Maximilianus and Diadumenianus
