Jack
Since Sam started school in January he has told me that he only plays with “Jack” while there. I pick him up and ask him about his time on our drive home - “What did you have for snack, what songs did you sing at circle time, who did you play with?” To the last he always has said, “Jack. Just Jack.” And I proceed to ask him why he only plays with Jack and no one else. He has yet to answer the last one.
He brought home his class picture this week. There he sits, right smack in the middle, my little cutie with the rumpled hair. I sat down with him to look at it and asked him to tell me everyone’s names, which he did: “Me, Sammy … Jack … Jack … Jack … Jack . . . and Gwacie.” Oh.
According to him, every boy in his class is named Jack, and this is a class of eight boys and one girl (Gracie). In reality there is one Jack and one Jackson, which I guess is sort of confusing to a kid just learning this many names. So yes, I suppose if you see it that way it wouldn’t seem that odd to always be playing with “Jack.”
Oh my gosh, that is just too precious! I wish that I could see the look on his face 10+ years down the road when you tease him in front of his friends …
Although, he is doing much better than I. It took my parents a full year to figure out that my best friend in preschool was imaginary ……
Oh funny. And I really like the name Jack, but it sounds like it’s replacing John or Mike from our school days!

Too cute. I bet it is tough for a little guy to make sense of those names! When you wrote, “Jack. Just Jack” it reminded me of one of my favorite shows, back in the day, “Will and Grace.” Did you ever watch? Just Jack. Makes me giggle just thinking about it. I miss that show!
That’s stinkin’ FUNNY!
This is hilarious! We had a picnic at the boss man’s house last weekend and X kept calling his dog by their daughters name! I was horrified until it hit me that my mom’s dog is named the same as their girl, so X thinks it’s ONLY an animal name…(does that make ANY sense?!) I love this stuff
