So I remember

Ok, so I started in January and I'm a little light on the "many" part. For now I want to preserve some anonymity for my wife and kids. I can refer to myself with 1st person pronouns with little confusion on the part of others. One of my pet peeves however is a sentence, spoken or written, where they or them is used to describe 2 or more parties. I find too much brain power is required to decipher the desired result. When presented with this scenario I usually purposely misconstrue what is being said.

Hey, sometimes when my brain hurts I'm a bit of a jerk... sue me.

To avoid confusion (on my part, not necessarily yours as a reader) I am listing a general collection of the characters I expect to run in to in my tales. I will add to this as need be.

Me:Me
My Wife:CA
Our Son: The Boy
Our Daughter: The Daughterchild

As you can see these are pretty straight forward. In the future I intend to use names of similar simplicity. Ex. My mother-in-law is going to be My Favorite Mother-in-Law.

As I said, this is more for me than for you guys. Thanks for your patience. Now for something worth reading.
