DT: How long is it going to be before our boy comes out?
MT: Look at your program!
DT: But they’re listed by first name, and …
MT: BARRON! Your son is about to graduate from high school but you still can’t remember his name!
DT: I knew I shouldn’t leave it to you to pick his name. I would have picked a name easy for me to remember, like …
MT: You already have a son named Donald. You can’t have two sons with the same name.
DT: Okay, what about …
MT: Eric? Taken. In case you’ve forgotten him, he’s sitting two rows behind us.
DT: [Turns and waves] Okay, but what kind of name is Barron anyway? I mean, is it popular in Sl…, Slaw…, Slew…, geez, this is embarrassing.
MT: I am from Slovenia. Slo-ven-i-a. And no, Barron is not Slovenian. I just thought it sounded classy, like he has a title.
DT: Who told you it was spelled with 2 r’s?
MT: You mean it’s not?! That little !@#$ daughter of yours told me it was 2 r's. She even wrote it down so I wouldn't forget!
DT: Now dear, Ivanka is the brain in the family. Maybe this is like, what’s it called, an alternative spelling.
MT: That !@#$! I remember now how she would always hold him and say, “he’s almost royalty,” then start laughing.
DT: Come to think of it, where is my little prince…, I mean, Ivanka?
MT: She said she couldn’t make it. I think she was making fun of me again because she said something about a ‘flea bargain.’
