What Not To Say When You Meet A Woman With A Kid Named "Maverick"


So I'm guessing your baby's name is Goose?

This reminds me of when a teacher was talking about his new grandson named "Hunter." Another teacher looked at him and asked, "So, if they have a girl next time, will they call her 'Gatherer'?"

Oh, nooo! You're wrong - you definitely SHOULD!

You might also want to stay away from comments like, "Yeah, I guess he wasn't cute enough to name Goose?"

We met Mav at the park yesterday. I'm really hoping for his sake that his last name isn't something like "Kowalski".

mav·er·ick n
1. somebody who holds independent views and who refuses to conform to the accepted or orthodox thinking on a subject
2. an unbranded animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother and herd. By convention, it can become the property of whoever finds it and brands it.

So, does the kid walk on four legs and eat hay? Just curious.

One of my DH's co-workers named her newest male offspring "Shooter". I'm expecting there to be bloodshed when the kid hits grade school.
