I think his name is Tanner
I'm not related to this kid, he was just super cute and he was at my cousin's wedding. I kept asking him his name and he kept saying, "Tanner!" but it came out sounding like, "Hannah!" So I kept saying, "Hannah?" and he kept saying, "No! TANNER!" and then I kept saying, "Hannah?" And this continued for an hour. At the end I just gave up and said, "Hannah, I'm putting you on the Internet."

Peace restored.

i am elizabeth. this is apparently very hard for my brother to say. so, naturally, a nickname ensued...frank. (we have no idea.)

What a cutie. And he does look like he's up for some mischief. I bet he keeps his parents busy, and boy that reminds me what I have in store for me in a few years.

Twenty years from now, poor Tanner is going to be covered in tattoos and piercings, sobbing on his therapist's couch that he fears he is a woman named Hannah trapped in a man's body.
I hope you'll get some pictures of him, er, her, then as well.

For a few years when I was a toddler, I called my older sister Deet. No one had any idea why. Her name is Nicci.

Maybe he was giving you his last name? Perhaps he is related to Uncle Jesse, DJ, Stephanie, and those mun-chee-chees we sometimes call the Olsen Twins.
He doesn't look like Bob Sagat though....

Personally, Michelle's comment was my favorite.

He's so cute! I see why you had to put him on the internet!

I might be a product junkie, but that cute kid needs some lip balm.

when my sister was a toddler, she couldn't say my name properly. instead of kathe (pronounced same as kathy or cathy), she called me ga-ga instead. what was worse, my mom started calling me ga-ga too.

This has nothing to do with the picture of the day... but I had a dream about The Dooce last night. For some reason, four families had all moved into the same house, and we all had kids and pianos and big-screen TVs. There was a lot of discussion about what the hell to do with four pianos. "Maybe somebody could sell their piano?" "Well I'm not selling MY piano!" But some of the guys were excited about having so many big-screen TVs, cuz then they could watch, like, three football games at the same time.
I dunno - anyway, I recall you and I had a nice chat about something unreated to furniture, although I don't remember exactly what.
That's it. Hope that doesn't sound too creepy. I'm not a crazy stalker, really.

my cousin called me "carrot" until he was about 8 years old...He thought that my name was actually Carrot and everyone was just leaving the "t" sound off the end.

Hannah looks good in a tie.
My cousin could never say her own last name properly, to this day I call her doolie doorbell

My name went from Tee-Tee to Teeta to Hadina. I remember being very upset when Teeta went away.
My cousin called my brothers (Pat and Nick) "Pack" and "Nit" for the longest time.

My mother's godson went by the name of Seashoe for many years, as that's what his older brother called him. Nobody has any idea how Seashoe came from Nathan, but it was such a cute nickname that it really stuck.
That kid is PRETTY.

I saw cowbell on E! last night! It made the top 10 most memorable SNL moments. Now I cannot stop thinking about Will Farrell dancing around, banging on the cowbell, exposing his hairy midriff.
Cute kid. He will be trouble.

My nephew couldn't say Quin at 15 months, but he could say "Dodo".
I like that the little ones know me by name first.

I have to send a shout out to ANNA whose comment made me spit tea all over my monitor because I was laughing so hard. Rock on. Have fun in Park City Dooce! I see a lot of procedure in your future.

Every child I meet instantly changes my name to 'Hedo' or 'Hebo'. That 'th' really kills em, but it's SO cute!

When my nephew was learning to talk, he used to call me "Hodka".
I don't know how he got that from "Heather".
Also, to this day (he's now 14) I'm trying to figure out what "dondy" is. He used to throw holy fits looking for "dondy".

I had to overnight baby-sit for my friend's and her sister's kids. My friend's kid, Whitney, was 4 and I could understand her fine. The boy, Michael, was just turning 3 and talked as if his mouth was full of sand. Any time he said anything to me, I would have to turn to Whitney and ask for a translation into English.
By the end of the stay, and hundreds of "Whitney...what did he say?"'s, Whitney's response to me always began with a curl of the nostril, roll of the eyes so high you thought she was having a seizure, and ended with a huff so deep she almost spit up a lung; "He said he wants to go swimming...duh!".

Hi Dooce,
This doesn't have anything to do with cute Tanner either but I had to get this information to you, IMMEDIATELY. I spend a good deal of my time researching companies and while surfing through Novartis' web site I discovered some news that may change your life.
FDA Approves Zelnorm as the First Rx Therapy For Chronic Constipation. Here's the link to the press release...
http://www.pharma.us.novartis.com/newsroom/pressReleases/releaseDetail.j...
Good luck to you and the "4.5 Million Americans" who "Suffer from Constipation Most of the Time". I had no idea how many Americans are bound up. Sheez.
On a side note, my godson is very into Thomas the tank engine and specifically, Percy and the freight cars. He talks incessantly about Pussy and the Fuckers. Sorry for the language. Sort of.
