i 2-The Canadian Champion, Frday JuIy 1il 2003 I'm flot quite old enough yet to be called Grandpa from MHEV on nnne 9 affects Iheir personality. And even their life. John Wayne's original first namre. fior examnît 15 mernorable. Frank Zappa named his kids Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva Muffin. Okay, maybe flot that weird, but Ihere are pien- îy of nice sounding unique naines thai 1 lhink people like having, such as... Bobbi. The birth certificate for Dweezii Zappa says Ian. When Dweezii was older, he demanded that his naine be changed legaiiy so Dweezii because he iked il more. Sec? People like having unique names. Thne next name issue is whaî 10 be caiied. 1 cringe every ime I lhink of1 myseif as a grandia- ln ta,l y 1iIher was itider ihan 1 amr rghî now when i was bomn. He's caiied Grumpy by the grandchiidren, which is kind of funny and cule. You know the regular grandfather names Grandpa, Grand Dad, Gramps, Grampy, etc. I might like those when 'm 60, but Ihaî's 15 years away. There aren't a loi of new variations com- ing oui, s0 I'm going 10 make my own, and mod- emize il. We don'î reaiiy like reminders Ihai we're gel- ling nid, even if we gel îhem ail the lime. Anyîhinp cextra we cao eliminiats,;jusi fine hv it jusi gîves you excuses flot Io aci y(iung. 1 mighî be thînkîng, hey, 1 canit do thai, l'm a grandfaîher. I'm nol sure whaî il is i wouidn'î do as a grandfaiher thai I do n0w, but theres uno point laking any chances. i caiied my ex-wife to sec whaî she wanled 10 bie caited. She wasn'î Ino sure, but she did ledl anyîhing wilh grand in il was loi) nid sounding. She bias a friend who's caiied Ya-Ya, which she lhnughî was okay. The maie grandiparent eqaîs- 1-lâts .gn, c. And o t youuorgtil. ainm)1ta îii1beN-o Idn1lîks 1 was lhinking of G-Man. You know, Gratndi ,îhtr MinîîOr it ' n hi s.î.. ci Si e olti iiy e s ihat I1v as gîîînîg o h CG Man, she changeci whaî she wanîed to be caiied to Queen-G, a lakeoif on Qucen Bee. Not bad. Sponty. modemn, imaginative. Jusî righl for loday's grandparenî. Athough, I'm ont sure we're lhinking of the poor kid. When somebody asks abouî ber grand- parents, she'il be confused and wiii have te, deny having knowiedge of such a lhing. "Wei,' she mighî say, I don'î know about grandparenîs, but i've gos a Queen-G and a (J-Man.' LIKIE4 YU U A UUUL) LISTENER? A Some expents suggesî Ihat women tend b bbe better listeners than men. Iu fact, rm0sy husbands arc noto nious for being poor listeners. Perhaps you are famil- iar wiîh the scene of a husband reading the newspa- per whiie his wie is lryîng 10 ialk. Hîs response is "Yes. dear. Uh, huh. Mmmm, is that so?" But he's not reaiiy istening. Suddeniy. bis wife pulls down the newspaper and asks, "Have you heard a word tve saîd?!!" Two men were taling ose day. One ni îhem said. "My wife talks to herseif a lot." Hîs iriend answered. "Mine does 100. but she doesnt know tl She thiîîks l'm listenîng." Poor lisîening, however, is noî jusi aîîribuîed 10 men. Sometimes, ail of us listes poorly- as a group nf pas- seugers on an air plane when the fiight attendant is making the required safeîy announcement. Patricia Goidman, the former vice chairman of the National Transportation Safeîy Board, tlls a story about a fligbî atendaut who, frusîraîrd by passenger mnalien- tivenesu duriug her îalk, chauged the wording and said, "Wheu the mask drops down lu front of ynu, place mbt over your navel and coutinue 10 breathe uormaliy.'
