    This is awesome! So original!
    It really made me laugh, though I felt kind of bad for the parents.
    Well done!

    Aw, how sad. Poor little guy.

    I really liked this, especially how long the parents spent on trying to name their kid. I think it made the story really realistic. Not to mention I think it's important to put a lot of thought into the name of your kid.

    Thanks for entering this. I'm really glad I got to read it.

    Wow, very different. I don't think I have ever read anything like this before. I thought it was very well written and good. Poor parents.

    I wonder what happens next and look forward to the French!

    we're all mad here;;:
    Woo, first comment. But anywho, I found that quite funny, with the french guys and their french accents.

    Christophe. I don't like that name.
    You should've named him Topher.
    That's what my mom wanted to name my baby sister if she were a boy.
    But I kept telling her, "topher the gopher, mom. That wouldn't be nice."

    Oh well.
    Good writing, though. :]
    Ah, that's better. I was sort of freaking out. "Oh no! I can't read this and I can't drag it over to Word to blow it up because no copying and pasting!" But then it occurred to me that quoting the comment would work. (And since I like reading comments on other peoples' pages, I thought I would just make it obvious for anybody else who stumbled upon this piece.)

    Ah, yes, but if I had named him Topher ( :lmfao ) the French guys wouldn't have descended upon the Joneses. A small sacrifice I think. The end justifies the means after all.

    For the record, I'm not fond of the name Christophe either but the name just came to me -- it actually was what formed the story itself -- and I had to use it for a few reasons. (I don't actually know many French names and the story wouldn't be the same without Chris.)

    Thanks for reading. I really enjoyed writing this. Rereading it makes me feel like I can actually do third person.
