“I LOVE THESE WORMS! Ra and Tamara, I can’t believe you don’t come over and try to get the Apron lady to give you some.”
“They really don’t whet my appetite Eon.”
“Me neither Ra. And I’m kind of afraid of them. They are pretty big.”
“Well, I guess that means more for me! I wonder if I should change my name to Worm Man? That’s probably better than Ion, right?”
“ Oh geez, Eon, I don’t think so. Sounds like the name of a super villain.”
“Yeah. And ‘worm’ rhymes with ‘squirm’ and ‘germ’ and that’s ooky. And, I – Yawn, pretty soon everyone will be calling you ‘Fat Man’ if you keep eating those all the time.”
“Ha! I did notice that my feathers are feeling a little snug. But you guys are right. That’s not a good name. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
“Maybe you’re a girl and you can get married and take the name of the boy bird? Your first name could be ‘Mrs.”
“Really? I’m totally going to do that if I’m a girl! That would be awesome. Or....well, lots of birds get married so there are a whole lot of birds named 'Mrs.' already, right? Maybe not so awesome. Hrmpf.”
