Jackson: Name game

Nov 9 2008 by Lorne Jackson, Sunday Mercury

Name

game

wMy son, Ben, is now three years old.

Which means he’s learning oodles and oodles at the moment.

In fact, he’s just discovered his second name, which makes for a few interesting conversations.

Looking at me, he says, “Daddy Jackson!”

Then he points at the missus: “Mummy Jackson!”

Next, he pats himself on the head, while chirping, “Ben Jackson!”

But he’s not finished yet. “And... Pushchair Jackson!!!!”

Of course, I could correct him, but haven’t had the heart as yet.

Besides, I’m kinda hoping the Government will award me child benefit payments for raising Pushchair Jackson...
