Katy; Mom, why do we call the dog 'Gumbo'? Laura; That was the name she came with. Katy; Did I come with a name? Laura; You did. It was 'Noodles'. We decided to change it. Katy; My irrational love of pasta finally makes sense.
In that line of thinking, my name should have been “Pepsodent” – mom was always brushing her teeth and eating toothpaste while carrying me. (No, I do not have shiny white teeth, thanks to the side-effects of tetracycline administered to me when I was young – this was before they found out it could stain the permanent teeth. Grrrr.)
Gabe Kaplan used to say that it’s about the age of seven when most kids first encounter a kid who was adopted, at which point they begin to wonder. "So I went up to my dad and I asked, ‘Ling Chow, am I adopted?’ And he said, ‘No, son, you not adopted. You rented!’ "

Noodles seems to be handling it well. You think her brother’s name was “Meatball”?

Our first could have came with the name Manicotti as that’s all her mom ate for 3 months while carrying her.

One of my sisters has a love for dairy products, so we called her the “Dairy Queen” when she was little.
