A Boy Named Peggy
So, earlier today I was bouncing about the farm, admittedly a bit bored, when I came upon our two lovely donkeys and their dearest baby girl, Peggy (Yes, we have donkeys. Mother is fond of telling relatives “Yes, well, I already had Matt, so I figured I should get some more jack-asses so he wouldn’t be lonely”). Anyway, I was only momentarily watching the dearests graze when I saw a rather unexpected sight.
Peggy had a penis.
This has led me to a bit of uncertainty about my mother and her understanding of the facts of life, being that she is the one who deemed the donkey a female and christened her Peggy. Granted, one would have presumed she had a basic understanding given my existence, though there is rather obviously some confusion that should be cleared up soon. As of yet, I am not quite certain how to go about this. Yes, you think explaining the birds and the bees to your kids is hard – what about your parents?!
But, then, I suppose I should just be thankful that I’m not named Patsy.
And to think I was the one who gave poor Peggy his name! Now I’m certain he’ll bite me while I’m there, or find some way to get back at me. At least you should have the decency to change it! You can ask your diary readers to think of a more suitable name, one that of course, starts with the letter “P” You wouldn’t want him to grow up confused like you now would you?

I like donkeys – probably because of Eeyore’s melancholia. I think you should change the baby’s name to Patrick. (Thanks for asking to be added) xx

Always stealing my bloody noters! Face it mate: you will never have a non-slushy-teenage-girl readership, and they will always fervently approve of online dating.

haha thats funny. when our cats were born we couldn’t tell which was a boy or girl, cept the calico ones cause calicos are always girls. so we gave them names that could go for either sex!

You should check and make sure that you are of the male persuasion. You know. Just in case.

Maybe it is a hemaphrodite…JK

You can blame Natalie: she seems to think it’s perfectly reasonable for kids my age to be completely supported and looks at me weirdly when I suggest otherwise. Right now it feels like a miracle…

well… now this might have some promise… time will tell.

I think you should consider naming him Predrag. You know, start to give the farm a somewhat international feel. You could call him Peja for short. You know… like Stojakovic. Yes, that’s it… make them all international NBA players. Can you name one Dirk? Maybe Diop? -K
