    Kids Say The Darndest Things

    Font - I picked my dog up on the side of the road a few years ago. I was not planning on keeping her, so I called her "pup" for a day or so while trying to find her owners. I took her with me to a gas station to put up a flyer with her picture on it. I lived in a very small town and put up flyers at the four gas stations in the area in addition to posting online. This lovely little girl, about 6 years old, politely asked if she could pet my dog. I told her to ask her dad, he said yes, and she be

    This is why we love little kids. They're always making the most wholesome mistakes, and in this case, it created a hilarious story for this woman to share as the years go by. Plus, it probably helped to endear her to this pet that she wasn't sure if she'd be keeping anyway. So, that little girl did a very good deed that day without realizing it!

    OMG, This Is Some Solid Advice

    Product - At that time I was still not planning on keeping the dog and couldn't help but call her Asker for the next week. Before I knew it that was her name, and four years later I'm still confusing people who ask what her name is. Half the people bend over and say, "What's your name?" The other half are just confused and say, "What?" Anyway, remember to take time to choose a name for your dog.

    Even though Asker is a pretty ridiculous name, it sounds like it's given OP a lot of opportunities to have some fun at the expense of her neighbors. Plus, Asker can't mind it so much if she hasn't asked to have her name changed. So, everyone wins in the end! (As long as we all follow OP's advice)

    King Kitty Rides Again

    Rectangle - julievonpells 28 days ago Once upon a time when my son was a tiny little thing, he heard what I said when a stray kitten tripped me, but fortunately didn't repeat what I said properly. So we kept the kitten the rest of his life and he was always known as King Kitty (instead of f*cking kitty). 1.7k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    We're Borrowing The Fella Rule

    Font - jong Rinas-the-name 27 days ago The dog we got when my son was a toddler was named "Skippy", but my son called him "Kicky". Our current dog is "Huey" but my little niece calls him "Cuey" and thinks it's short for "Cutie". She also calls any man who's name she doesn't know "Fella", we don't know why but it's adorable. Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow 53 aep2018 27 days ago My uncle couldn't say "doggy" but "goggy" when he was little so the family dog came to be called "Gogi" Reply

    Such Funny Names

    Font - Teapot Bagpipe 27 days ago lol this reminds me of a pair of cats my grandparents had when I was really little that they referred to as "The Kings" but their names where Nosmo and Nopar. I was in my 20s when I finally got it - my grandpa named them after the no smoking and no parking signs on the building where he found them Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow 32

    Font - Evendim 27 days ago I had a dumbo like elephant as a kid. It had big floppy ears that would flap around when ever you moved it. I called the damn elephant Flaps. My Mum desperately tried to have me name it something else, but nope. That was my Flaps. 38 yr old grown woman me feels so sorry for my Mum :P

    This Is A Cool Coincidence!

    Font - 91 olyssier 28 days ago Asker is an old Norse male name meaning The Spear of God. So now you have the material for an alternative backstory ;) Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow 844 new2bay 28 days ago It also means "soldier" in Turkish, with a slightly different pronunciation than in English, though. :) 189 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow
