I have a “spirited” 18-month-old boy. On this board, I often refer to him as BabyGuy, because he’s my baby, and he exhibits many genuinely guy-like qualities (love of engines, fire, and women–not necessarily in that order–being the primary examples).
But now he’s getting bigger, and is starting to outgrow his babyness. He’s developed a fondness for destruction, as pretty much all toddlers do (his four-year-old sister, the LittleGoddess, enjoys destruction even better, hence one of her other nicknames, Dianasaurus Rex).
The appetite for destruction that the boy is showing has caused my husband and I to come up with two new names for him–Johnzilla, and Johnstrosity. For purposes of this board, though, I’ll only be using one of those names.
I like them both, though. This is where you come in. Which name do you, my fellow Dopers, like best? Polls close, oh, sometime tomorrow evening, I guess.
Rolls off the tongue easier and is clearer in its punniness.
Besides, Johnzilla only lends credence to the destruction aspect, Johnstrosity is a more general term encompassing the love of destruction as well as most other male hobbies.
Well that would be good, but…he’s not a brat. He doesn’t destroy things out of maliciousness, you know? He’s compelled to seek and destroy, simply because of his toddlerness. One day he’ll either a) get over it, or b) make a living from it.
