As an only child it seemed very natural to refer to my infant son as, "The Boy." When his sister came along 10 years later it also seemed natural to refer to her as, "The Girl." I realize now that I may have taken this a bit too far when after referencing his sister, my son responded with, "Dad! You do know that we have names! (With slightly less conviction) Don't you? Do you know what our names are?"
Thank God I have them written down somewhere ... somewhere. This could have been embarrassing.
