I JUST WANNA BE BOB

I had told the first graders that they could have free time as soon as they wrote their names on the tops of their papers. After a minute one little boy threw his arms up in despair and let out a wail. "What IS IT?" I asked him. This poor kid had a greek name and it had 23 letters in it. "WHY?", he wailed, couldn't I have just been Bob?"

    I can relate, kid! My greek parents saddled me with a 31 letter name! Kindergarden was hell. I used to envy a kid named Joe Gray.
