So I grew up an only child. No I wasn't spoiled, unless you consider having a see-thru phone and my own room with a double bed and the latest walk-man spoiled. Okay, then yes, I guess I was. But more than that, I was bored...like all the time. If you're reading this and you only have one child - have more. Unless it's physically impossible then just drink some wine and keep reading. The good thing about being an only child however, is that it gets you to delve deep into your imagination. And you have to come up with some creative shit.
For me, that meant playing teacher to a room full of stuffed props whose names I made up on a fake attendance list. I had a million of these lists. Here's a few of my favourite made up names (from said lists):
1. Martha Runspinner
2. Giles Forkbaster
3. Sheila Toadenback
4. Michael Bombeck (this was totally due to Erma Bombeck...if you don't know who that is..you're too young to read this blog...go get your Mom!)
5. Missy Fanshaw
6. Lisa Coomstalk
7. Peter Hulk (too many cartoons)
8. Carla Spaghetti (I am half-Italian...self explanatory)
I don't know but I think these are pretty stellar for like a 10 year old. I would like to see YOU come up with more creative names...no really...if you have some leave them in the comments, so I can laugh at them.
