So, for some reason, I really like extending people's names when I talk to them...I work with a guy named Jeff, but I always call him Jeffery, sometimes, when he's out of ear shot, I refer to my brother as Nathaniel and I always refer to Lindsey as Lindsamos...it's just my thing...I'm weird, I know. Well, Logan's name is pretty much as extended as it's going to get so a few weeks ago I started calling him my own version on Logan... "LANGOSTA" I liked the sound of it and it KIND of sounded like Logan so I went with it. Well, when we were up North for the SF marathon, I referred to Logan as Langosta while amongst some friends - one friend looked at me and said "What did you just call him? Langosta? What does that mean?" I told him it didn't mean anything and that I'd made it up...because I honestly thought that I had. But APPARENTLY, that's not true...somewhere in this massively complex brain of mine, I managed to store a few words I must have learned from Spanish class 15 years ago because LANGOSTA means...
LAUBSTER!!!!
Who knew?! I think it's meant to be!
You've got to be kidding, I thought. Then I looked it up in a bilingual English-Spanish dictionary and . . . YOU'RE RIGHT!
