Mary and Hanna have come up with the silliest names for their toys. About an year ago we bought Hanna the ugliest stuffed animal at a dollar store. It is a gorilla in boxing clothes. He has a hole in his armpit and his eyes are crooked. Well, despite all of the above, Hanna loves him, and she named him Boot-it (which has since turned into Boot-it Heart).

Mary came up with a really silly one a few weeks ago. She was playing train with most of their stuffed animals. She told me they were her kids (all 30 of them) so I asked her their names. When she got to their toy cat she said his name was Kitty Licker. Man did I laugh, and it has stuck ever since. (Quite honestly it still makes me laugh).

One more thing about names. Lately Mary has been using the oddest name when she is playing. She likes for her pretend name to be Anus. Anus, where in the heck did she get that one? To her it is the most beautiful name so she is Anus, and everyone else, humans and toys alike, are variations of it- Anik, Anil, etc. They are too funny.
