Adam Bakee
Last week, Adam discovered that his coworkers' kids are fixated on his name. Andrew and Val, who had just given birth to son number three, were driving their three boys to the Arboretum when they called Adam so he could experience the extent of their fixation. The following is a reconstructed conversation by way of Adam. Note that the kids are all under the age of five and "Son 1" happens to be my favorite introverted child:
Val: Hi Adam, we're on our way to the arboretum with the boys and we thought you might like to hear this. Maybe you'd like to talk to them.
Boys: [in the background] Adam Bakee Adam Bakee!
Adam: Hi, where are you guys going?
Son 1: We're going to the arboretum. I'm in the car with mommy and daddy, little brother and baby brother who just came out of mommy's belly.
Son 2: [in the background] Adam Bakee Adam Bakee Adam Bakee!
Val and Andrew have tried to explain to the boys that Bakee is not actually Adam's last name, but Bakee is apparently much catchier and easier to chant.
