My mom's Headstart kids
Posted by Alice on Mon, 10/18/2004 - 5:05pm.
My mom used ot be a head start teacher, she had some pretty awesome names show up in her program:

Twin boys Roosevelt and Roosevelt- Spelled alike but pronounced differently: Rose-eh-velt and Ruse-eh-velt

And a little boy who refused to tell anyone his name until no one was around but my mom, when he finally said "Sunshine Siddharta, what's it to ya?" He was four and already knew his name was a free ticket to have his butt kicked. Sad.

At the place I volunteer, I had a kid whose middle name was Leather, a kid named Dowel (pronounced Doh-well fortunately) and a custodial family whose last name was Weaselhead.

I've heard the Orangejello and Lemonjello story before, but it's a set of brothers my roomate claimed to know back in california.
