Nope.

When she got to "SHEP!" we all just came running

HA! With that many kids, I'd just be pointing and saying "you".

My grandfather always called me by my aunt's name and then had to correct himself, my mom called both us kids the wrong names (and the dog's!) I have to think about who I'm talking to sometimes to get the right name. I'm thinking it has to be genetic (or I'm slowly losing it!)

I've gotten so used to answering to my sister's name, that when she's actually around I have to sort of check myself.

My brother and I do that, too. Whichever kid is nearest to Mom, answers. It's easier now that he's living in the UK, I don't have to look around to see if he's there.

My Grandmother had eight children and a dozen grandchildren. Whe she got worked up she'd just start yelling names.

My Gramma had 24 grandchildren, many of whom were born in bunches. So, when she called our house and got my brother, she'd go through the list of boy cousins who were born in within a few years of him: "Hi, Pat, Tim, Jim, Joe, John, Kip..." "That's me, Gramma!"

Kathy, that's so funny! I'd be sunk trying to remember 24 names, I have a hard time with 2.

I have to consult with my mom to get all of the cousins' kids names right. Not everyone has had kids, of course, but two of them have five each, and with all the other kids, I'm lost.

There are 14 cousins on my mom's side. 7 spouses or might-as-well-be-spouses, 6 children-of-cousins, and 2 more in the making. And I can name them all! OK, a little fuzzy on a couple of the newer spouses' names, but other than that....

Today, I have an angry robin attacking my window.

I'm bad at the kids of my mother's brothers and their kids, and perfect with the kids of my mother's sisters and their offspring. Half and half on my paternal cousins. Half and half on my maternal second cousins and second once removed. On my father's side, I don't think anyone can keep track that far out. Though it is convenient that he's related to one of his (half-)brothers twice. Saves on memory cells.

It's not a dirty link, exactly. I mean, it's World of Warcraft set to music.

Warren Ellis posted this picture in his blog today. Somehow that shoe looks iconic of shoe porn, even though I could and would never wear it. It screams shoe for shoe's sake, with a bit of sex thrown in. The artist is a pretty nifty cartoonist too.
