Young Thaddius.

babyeatingjesus

I was in Subway an hour ago getting my lunch and behind me in line was this young family.

Mom & Dad are clinging to their old lives by dressing in skater/punk clothing and retaining their ridiculous facial piercings and faux-hawx. Their son, Thaddius (yes Thaddius) is dressed similarly with a mohawk shaved into his little head. Thaddius is about 2-3

I caught the following exchange:

"Daddy, can I pick my drink? cuz I know what I want!"

"Sure, Thaddius" He made such a point to say his son's awesome original name, "what do you want?"

"I want chocolate milk. What are you having daddy?"

"Water, Thaddius."

Thaddius makes a FACE. Like he saw a walking turd. Confusion combined with disgust.

"What kind of chocolate milk is that?"

You go, Thaddius. Overcome your name and own it and be awesome. Also enjoy you chocolate milk.

Kids are so goddamn honest and it warms my heart to see that you're not BORN a douchebag. You're made into one, and maybe, just maybe, you can fight it.

So SE++, take this story and understand; you have no excuse, so be awesome.

And have some chocolate milk.

Chocolate milk is hella old school, like sitting on a porch

MrMonroe

don't worry, they'll have ruined him completely in a few more years

"Also enjoy you chocolate milk."

You forgot an r...

Ness445

is this a story about how Thaddius is kind of a weird name? Because I have some weird names that I would invaraibly give my kids that are also Galilean satellites.

or is this a thread about how chocolate milk is pretty rad (because of my lactose intolerance, I have to get the silk stuff)?

or is this just a general "BE AWESOME TO ONE ANOTHER, EVERY DAY!" thread? because, well...

Was it maybe Thaddeus?

What the fuck kind of name is thaddius

There was some androgynous 10-year-old kid in my library yesterday. My peers and I spent a good deal of time watching it move around the library, analyzing every detail, taking bets on whether or not it was a guy or a girl. Then we heard its father call it Sasha and we all simultaneously groaned and gave up.

Ok what the hell is wrong with Sam? At least that's a normal name.

I heard a woman call her son Spectre for christ's sake.

RabidDeathMoose

That kid is going to be annoyed when he reaches the age of being able to realize when something is or is not totally douchey.

Like a particular set of parents, for instance.

Thaddeus is a stupid name, but when it was happening I saw the parents, the kid, heard the name, and thought the worst. I heard that kid talk about his chocolate milk with a passion you just don't see in adults and it made me smile and have hope for the world.

Be Excellent to each other and make each other awesome.

you know there IS an easier way to find out

Thaddeus isn't that bad a name. I propose that it is better than, say, Moon Unit.

Wren

I will name my child OCTAVIUS and he shall become a Canadian senator

Spoiler:

i will never have children

Langly

ness do you sometimes consume delicious dairy products in spite o fyour stomach and curse fate while your bowels rebel?

babyeatingjesus

The name itself isn't bad. It was the constant and seemingly deliberate repetition of the name so everyone could hear how cool this guy was for naming his kid Thaddeus.

It's annoying when you don't know whether or not the kid is a guy or a girl

And I hope this doesn't get BOTP'd

I met a woman named Vendetta

i heard a report that in some country the parents tried to name their child Q, but were denied because the state said something to the effect of "That's asinine he'll get beat up in school".

Did you then introduce yourself as Due?

It's a fine name if you are a friar or monk, or a giant undead automaton.

TRUE SAM FACTS: my dad's middle name is Samuel and I have a cousin named Samantha, so I've heard Sam a few times in relation to both sexes. I imagine it's kinda terrifying not knowing what lurks beneath.

I'm angry at adults calling children by their names.

HARGLE BARGLE

I avoided addressing the Sam kid until I knew he was a he

But I called Dakota "she" in front of a bunch of little kids

Robothero, come on you know what I mean, Robothero. Don't be like that Robothero. Robothero you weren't born like that, don't act that way. Robothero.

Dog

The name is Robert.

babyeatingjesus

yeah but you see what I mean. Neither hargle nor bargle intended.

Thad isn't even a good sounding nickname.
