Some of you may know that I call my son Spartacus here in part because A. lobbied hard for us to actually name him Spartacus (for variants of "lobbying hard" that involve knowing that I would never let that happen). Somehow this came out at dinner the other night, and now Spartacus is demanding to be called Spartacus in real life.
You can imagine my attempts to explain this to his nursery school teacher, after he told her that he had a different name now.
