Um, I hadn't seen him in a long time, and by then I'd forgotten what name I gave him then. And then he'd been an it. Now he's very much a he. He needed a boy name.
You... forgot what you named him? [sigh] I'm not really sure being renamed is better than having one's name forgotten. That sort of thing would cause an identity crisis.
It's not a caterpillar. It's a wingthing. What George is now is um... I don't know. It's the first time I've ever seen one like him. But he's very much not a wingthing. Wingthings have wings.
Oh. Not you specifically. People get confused a lot.

His wings went away though.

Are you sure it's not just a mutant turtle?

Why did you wait until now to name him?

I don't think wingthings and ex-wingthings would get that problem. They know if they're wingthings or not.

Wait. He's an ex-wingthing now? He's not just a mature one? And even if he knows he's a former wingthing... Getting a new name is-- This is confusing.

Yes. That's typical.

What's typical? If you're imply that I am normally confused, I'll have to disagree.

Do they? I didn't think people were that bad.

What's being confused got to do with being good or bad?
