This morning as I entered the kitchen, I was greeted by the sight
below . . .
This was the Post-it note that Mark brought into our room last night asking, "Is Mom awake?"
Me: "No, she's not. What do you need?"
Mark: "I need a blank piece of paper to stick this to. It's a note to my teacher telling her that I want to be called, Buddy."
Me: "You want to be called Buddy?"
Mark: "Yeah, I want to change my name to Buddy."
Me: "Okay Buddy, how about we just make Buddy your nickname and leave your name - Mark?"
Mark: "Yeah, that's what I want! I want my nickname to be Buddy!"
Me: "Okay, why don't you stick that on the refrigerator so we don't forget and we'll get the blank paper tomorrow?"
Mark: "Okay Dad. Goodnight."
Me: "Night Buddy."
P.S. The note says, "My" with a line thru it, "Mark's name is Buddy".
