Do you remember being in elementary school school and there is a Heather K. and a Heather R. in your class or Jed P. and a Jed A.?
Well, it happens almost every year that there is a large number of kids in my class with the same name. One year I had 4 Taylors--2 boys and 2 girls. Then another year, I had 3 Austins. This year there are 4 named Alex and 2 named Alec in 3rd grade!! (Couldn't these parents be a little more creative when choosing their names?!? --maybe they were all really be fans of Family Ties, right Morgan!) So, during roll call, they were asked what they would like to go by this year to differentiate them.
"Do you have a nick name or something else you'd like to be called since we have some many with the same name?" We've established the names they will go by when a little guy--who is very shy, quiet and serious, raises his had and says while trying not to look embarrassed:
Billy: "I have a nickname."
Teacher:"Oh yeah, what is it?"
Billy: "The Big Bomber"

I love the stories you have about your students! So do you call him The Big Bomber now?
Totally!!
Do we really want to know why he is called the Big Bomber? Did you ask him? You have to see what he says.
