Losing The Name Game

(We are play-testing my brother-in-law’s card game, and are in the set-up process for our characters.)

Husband: “So what are you going to name your character?”

Me: “I don’t know. How about ‘Tim the Ranger?'”

Husband: *with enthusiasm that slowly fades to disappointment* “‘TIM! the …Ranger’…”

Me: “Yes. This is why you don’t let me name things!”

(Five minutes later:)

Me: “So I’ve also named my wolf ‘Awoo,’ and my bear ‘Grrar.'”

Husband: “What? ‘Woot?'”

Me: “No, ‘Awoo.’ Like a…” *howling like a wolf*  “AWOOOOO!”

Husband: *facepalm*

Me: “And my rogue mercenaries are named ‘Stealthy,’ ‘Sneaky,’ and ‘Stabby!'”
