Suck it, Marge

I have 20 chickens.  To be more specific, I have 20 hens.  In general, people think that hens' names must all sound like grandma names.  I get it.  Kind of.  Maybe if you have 3 or 4 hens.  Nope.  20.  Some of them are named after people or characters you know of.  And some are named after the midwives who delivered my first kid.  Here they are:

  1. River
  2. Hoos Foos
  3. Sunny Jim
  4. Cindy
  5. Suzy
  6. Beatrice
  7. Emily
  8. Barack Obama
  9. Michelle Obama
  10. Joe Biden
  11. Bernie Sanders
  12. Hillary Clinton
  13. Diana Prince
  14. Maude Findlay
  15. Buffy Summers
  16. Veronica Mars
  17. Leslie Knope
  18. Dana Scully
  19. Olivia Benson
  20. Holy shit I can't remember one.  Sorry, lady.


I also have 3 kids, a dog, 2 goats and a cat. I have already named all of the things.  I quit naming.

So WHY must I name my camper?  Well, I made the mistake of looking at some vintage RVs that were for sale online with my kid who noticed all the campers have names.  Why do I do anything with my kids, ever?  I mean, shit, I should know better by now.  Anyway, they were all named Marge and Bertha and Your Grandma.  They were all named things that your neighbor named their chickens.  All of the decor was mint and red with throw pillows that say "home is where you park it" and if that is your thing, there is plenty to go around.  But it's not my thing, at all.

Enter my 6 year old's magnificent brain.  She composed a list of some possibilities for our camper's name. 




For those of you not well versed in translating Olive's penmanship, our options are:

  1. Wasp
  2. Dorothy
  3. Hagrid
  4. Bumblebee
  5. Azkaban
  6. Elliott   (disqualified for also being the name of my son)
  7. Fox
  8. Camper
  9. Birdie
  10. Star Wars
  11. Santa
  12. Woodman
So, we are open for voting in the comments section.  And for the record, my vote is for "Camper".

XO.

  1. I'm a huge fan of wasp but only if you paint it accordingly. If not then Birdie and Camper have a vote for me!
