Tonight I came home from working all day to a very excited, very drunk husband. He came up with the perfect name for our child, you see. He thought "Maya" would be lovely (I agree), and then told me that he found the perfect Japanese Characters for it. He excitedly told me that it has a balance score of 99points - it's very lucky!!!
The characters he came up with: Marijuana arrow.
I smiled, thanked him for doing so much work, and asked him how appropriate it would look for me, a drug and alcohol counsellor for youth, to name their child marijuana! I pointed out that here in British Columbia, Canada, we would be sentencing her to endless teasing and bullying. He insists that it is OK in Japan, as the marijuana plant was used for paper - for very official and important documents, like the announcement of the name of the baby. I told him that that is all good and well, but that our child is still 50% Canadian, and naming her "pot" would likely NOT be a good thing. Sigh.
Once again, I am the bad guy - I am a nagging, controlling b*tch. He's off sulking now. What the heck is wrong with him? Or is there something wrong with me? I am so irritated with him all the time, and I don't think it's just my own hormones - would you like to name your child "marijuana"???
GRRRRR. And why I get punished with a sulking husband is beyond me - I just want to kick him out until after the baby's born!
ARGH!
