MEET THE NIERATKOS – JANINE AND BRUCE

May 22, 2009, 1:14pm

You remember Janine from Lonnie’s H.o.G. gatherings? Of course you do. Well, I haven’t seen Janine in a while and Tuesday at Lonnie’s Ice Cream Social she came over to me and asked me in her high-pitched voice, “Are you carrying a baby?” I said, “Yes, I am.” She said, “You didn’t look like you were carrying a baby at the Christmas party.”… My mom joked, “Nah, she just gained some weight.” Janine shrieked and laughed loudly at the joke. She asked what I was having. I told her the baby is a boy. “When is your due date?” she asked. “September 5th,” I said. “Oh!!!! Just after Labor Day!” She yelled. “Four days after my birthday.” I said. “What’s his name?” She asked. “Chris.” I said. “But my husband wanted to name him Merry Christmas.” “WHAT?” She screamed. “MERRY CHRISTMAS IS NO NAME FOR A BABY! YOU NEED TO HIT YOUR HUSBAND OVER THE HEAD WITH A FRYING PAN!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS IS NO NAME FOR A BABY!” She continued to remind me of this for the rest of the night. See. I told you. Merry Christmas is no name for a baby.
