Lest We Forget
Morris: “Mommy, guess what my name is.”
Me: “Um, it’s Morris?”
Morris: “Nope! See my poppy?” He thrusts out his chest. “It’s a hint.”
Me: “Your poppy is a hint to your name.”
Morris: “Yep.”
Me: “Okay… Is it Po?”
Morris: “No!”
Me: “Is it Red?”
Morris: “No!”
Me: “Is it Soldier?”
Morris: “Nooooo!”
Me: “Is it War Hero?”
Morris: “…. No.” (I’m pretty sure at this point he was wishing it WAS War Hero.)
Me: “Is it Flower Power?”
Morris: “NO!!!”
Me: “Okay, I give up. What’s your name?”
Morris: “It’s Poppy Man! Geez, I thought you would get that!”
