Fernelius

December 8, 2012
I did a double take when I walked by this mailbox.

Then I chuckled to myself.

It's kind of an inside joke.

When Cole was born, Jeff and Pearl started calling him "Fern" or "Fernelius." Random story about Jeff wanting to name him Lavernius Coles who is apparently some NFL player I should know but I ex-nayed that quickly. Pearl couldn't say Lavernius so she shortened it to Fernious or Fern or Fernelius, depending on everyone's mood.

I came home and showed Cole the mailbox and told him it must be his house because it had his name on it. He looked up at me with this confused look on his face, laughed (because the rest of us were), and then said, "No, Mom!"

I thought it was funny.
