Woo! Man, I thought I was gonna be late but thanks to Veronica, I got every green light. Who? Huh? Veronica. The old car was Betty, new car, Veronica. Oh! They made you name your car? I mean it’s got a license plate, VIN number, right? No this isn’t like a DMV thing, it’s not a requirement, it’s just for fun, you know? You spend a lot of time with the car, it’s kinda of fun to add a little personality, you know? Veronica! Veronica! Yeah! So uh, where do you want to get started? I was thinking maybe we can… You know what I really love that Michael has a straw. What are you doing? I just… I’m appreciating the fact that Michael came with a straw. And it matches. You can’t name your water bottle, it’s too inconsequential to be given a name. Why not? Well I mean, a car is like… it’s a big machine, it’s a big part of your life. A water bottle, is, it’s just not significant enough to be given a name. Fine! Okay so I was thinking we’d get started with the uh… Just a second, I need to clean Angelica. Your glasses? Come on! Yeah! Angelica and I were having a crazy morning. She was turning fuzzier things into clearer images. You can’t name your glasses! What the crap! Why not? It’s an accessory! I depend on Angelica every single day. She is very important to me. She is not inconsequential like some water bottle. Get out of here, Michael! No, listen! Your glasses are connected to you, it’s almost like they’re a part of you. You wouldn’t name your arms? Oh you mean Moxie and Kirk? Or your legs? And Vincent and Chloe? There are certain things you can name and certain things you can’t name. It’s that simple. Dasher, Prancer, Grumpy, Bumpy, Humpty, John, Paul, Ringo, Snazzy and Sugar. You can’t name fingers and toes, they’re connected to you, they’re permanent, they’re ever present. You gotta name things that are separate from you that are a little bit distant that you want a connection with, like a weapon. Like a weapon. You’ve seen Game of Thrones, all the swords have cool nicknames like Oath Keeper, Long Claw, Needles. So if I put all of my unnamed fingers into a fist, I can name that fist Mission Statement. No. You can’t. Well I hereby dub this pen Word Breaker. You can’t name your pen. But the pen is mightier than the sword. No, it doesn’t work like that. Listen, you gotta stop trying to force names onto things that don’t need names. I can’t deal with this! Your naming system is completely arbitrary and I’m not going to try to understand it. Oh, where are you going? I gotta step out for a few minutes and pick up my 2010 Neal from swim practice. Your what? My 2010 Neal, he swims. I gotta pick him up. 2010 Neal? Yeah! My child that was born in 2010. Does said child have a name? For real? Now you expect me to name my children?
