He Said She Said: Wife To Receive Baby Naming Priveleges
Disgrace
We finally set up our Twitter feed (see our announcement below)– and just in time too. Today we find out if we are having a boy or girl. I will twitter the event during the ultrasound. This is a big deal since all of the grandchildren on my side are boys (currently 9 in a row). We have 3 of them, but luck might run out today, and I could be the first to disgrace the family. Tune in today at 10 am.
I guess I was already disgraced this week by the results of the poll. I thought I proposed such a great way to decide the names for our kids, but look what happened. Barring some miracle, my wife will get to choose the baby’s name. I just don’t think I can get used to Shane, Rusty, or Butch. The good news is that I may have talked her into letting the readers decide the name, so keep your fingers crossed.
Back to twittering. We plan on twittering several events, namely the delivery of this next baby. This will help those husbands who have never experienced the grossness of a delivery. Someone has been spreading that it is a magnificent event, but I am here to tell you that it is nasty! More to come in late October/early November…
I will also try to twitter on other occasions:
- While I am getting yelled at by my wife
- While I am doing household chores for my wife
- While I spy on my wife at the gym
- While my wife is eating
- While I respond to difficult questions posed by my wife
- While my wife plucks whiskers
Anyway, I’m sure twittering will cause me marital pain at times, but it’s for the good of the blog and will get some more marriage advice out there.

No offense meant to the Rusty, Butch or Shanes out there, but I couldn’t get used to those names either.
Have readers submitted names?
Your wife has whiskers?

I’m going back to my prior comment. I think the wife should choose three names and we get to vote.
Sorry wife, I would not vote for Rusty, Butch or Shane. Though I’m guessing that these are not names you have chosen, but that the Donkey just threw out there.
Whoo hoo for four boys. My husband is one of five.

I think ultimately it is the wife’s decision since she has to do all of the work, it is only fair.
