This has become a serious issue for many reasons, and has escalated to more than a few heated arguments.
A few points:
We BOTH can not actually name our daughters the same name. Neither of us wants that... thats stupid. Our daughters would think their fathers are stupid. Our wives probably wouldn't agree with that either... cuz its stupid.
Knowing that either of us will undoubtedly make this move when the situation presents itself, it puts a liiiiiiiittle (**holds index finger and thumb as if pinching salt next to eyes while squinting**) stress on our life plans, as far as building a family. I mean, its almost to the point that I need to make sure that I get a girlfriend, get married and have that baby before the competition.
If either of us actually gets to the finish line before the other, I don't want little Lauryn Mukoro to be resented by the losing party.... She didn't do anything wrong. I mean, its not her fault she was born first!! Also, I don't want his or my daughter to be looked at as a loser all her life either.. Like his LAURYN is and will always be better than my..... ELEVEN(<-- weird name I know, but thats a blog all in itself.. long story short, I think its a great girl name, but I digress). Or, MY little LAURYN, is better than his little girl, Ashley "TooLate" Mukoro...lol
Lord forbid Lauryn grows up and does something real great with her life, like become Dr. Lauryn Mukoro or become an Astronaut or somethin! My daughter cant take that kind of pressure from her older cousin... shoot, I can't take that pressure.
I may not even love my kid as much...
lol ok, too much.. but you catch my drift.
All in all, this is a stupid problem to have and can only be dreamt up by the Mukoro boys.
If he does beat me tho, I hope Lauryn is one ugly baby, that grows up to be a dope fiend....
I kid, I kid...lol
freedom reigns.
