Thatababy by Paul Trap for June 13, 2018

Are you holding a contest now, Mr. Trap, to give the titular character a name? How about… oh, I don’t know… Dimitri?

I like ‘Max’. Could be short for Maximilian.

How about “Chewbacca Slartibartfast Spock”?

Beauregard.

Issac. It means, “to laugh”. Appropriate, I think.

Tiberius Luke

How about Leonard James!

What about “Aloysius”? That’s a name you don’t hear much anymore.

It isn’t Thata?

Chalupa Batman

How about a reader naming contest? Cosmo is my vote – because he went so long without a first name!

With the imagination that kid has, “Snoopy” would be appropriate, but I hear it’s taken…….

I’m so glad they aren’t all Baby McBabyface!

Good idea sir. You and your wife should reveal your real names while you are at it. That’s my opinion.

We don’[t even know Thatadad and Thatamom’s names either!

How about Mycroft (the brother of Sherlock Homes).

Maximus Poop.

Steve or Joshua

Stevie Ray Ripley.

Bob

OR… Just wait a few more years and he’ll tell you his name.

Just call him Baby like Baby Sinclair!

I’m the baby, gotta love me

Big purple eyes, I’m very cuddly

’Specially when I hit my daddy with a frying pan

WHACK (Earl: “Fran!”)

I’m the baby, gotta love me

First I whack you then you shove me

Flying ’cross the room, I like it!

Again!

Mama says it’s too much sugar

Daddy is all perplexed

A-B-C-D-E-F

Gee, you never know what I’m gonna do next! (Earl: “FRAN!!!!”)

Wanna see me make a rocket?

Watch me put her tail in a socket

She lights up like a Christmas tree

(Ethel: “Don’t try this at home!”)

Whee!

I’m the baby and you gotta love meeeeeeee

Everybody!

I’m the baby, gotta love me

Big purple eyes, I’m very cuddly

Don’t you think that every home should have one of me? (or three!)

I said, jump on the bed, hit my daddy on the head

Run around the house when they tell me not to

I take every chance to make a poop in my pants

But I’m the baby, and you got to

I’m the baby, gotta love me

Don’t you wish there were more of me?

Daddy, Mother, brother, sister

I’m the greatest baby in prehistor’!

I’m the baby and you gotta love

I’m the baby and you gotta love

I’m the baby and you gotta love me

“Hey, let’s name him Calvin!”
