Hmmm. Quite the downer of an article. I don't think I'd take a liberal CBS reporter's version of events in Iraq and Afghanistan as the gospel truth.
And Ben needs to grow a parenting backbone. All this guano about "being friends" with "Tommy" has led to "Tommy's" spoiled brat behavior.
He's 17. I think he can be called "Tom" now.
my brother is soon to be 73 and we STILL call him Joey. :)
Sister is 70 and we still call her cookie. :)
Does age really matter when we call those we love by certain names?
Interesting comment.
He is called Tommy and you think he should now go by Tom. I suppose but there are have been some wonderful folks who have chosen to use their childhoot name, at least with friends and family, Ronnie Reagan.
