The Bunny, Budda-Te-Chino

Yes, we've taken the rabbit and begun to make it our own. Thank you, Stef. You are the source of joy for our kids for years to come.

The rabbit's name is Buddy... was Buddy (sorry, Stef), until my wife and I started dreaming up coffee names for him. She suggested, Latte. I suggested, Cappy, the short form of Cappuccino. He is medium brown and white, so any coffee name will do, really. Hmmmm... if we went with a mix of the names... Budda-Te-Chino would work. But then we would sound like those annoying people who order a twenty-syllable drink just so they can sound fancy. News flash--no one is impressed.

In fact, I'm instituting a Barista Bouncer position to take care of all the "challenging patrons" in ye olde coffee shop. "What? I'm sorry... you put more thought into your coffee choice than the names of your children?! How sad. That'll be one medium Folgers for you. Move along, ma'am. Next!"

When our 20-month-old, Kayla, tried to say "latte" it sounded more like "toffee." Close. And very cute. Here's a picture to prove it.
