I knew Melvins growing up, too. It annoys me when I read a person’s first and middle name and can’t tell if it’s a girl or a boy!

One of Sally’s penguins is a girl, she said, but she named it Kevin anyway. The first one was a boy.

Well, like I said...there IS Kevin Wynn!

PC has turned this country into a bunch of chickens who are afraid to give their kids names befitting their sexes. My daughter is tiny and feminine (when she wants to be) and has a hyphenated name: Jane-Elizabeth. My son, of course, is 6’4” and all guy.

He’s also a good cook, a good housekeeper, he knows how to mend tears and sew on buttons, and he can mend broken hearts in kids. He spent about five years volunteering in pediatric wards at the local hospitals.

My daughter is finally (at 40) learning how to cook! Still, they have lived up to their names, and are proud to be who they are. And their kids have good strong names, too. (No grandaughters, though...)

They’ve overcome drugs and alcohol and learned how to be thankful for self-discipline. I’m proud of them. All I did was give them a few lessons and pointed them in the right directions. They did the rest on their own.

:o])
