Names Mean Things, Too

I saw a little boy in a store grab a toy rifle and begin *shooting* it everywhere, at everything and everyone. His Mom said, "Hunter, stop that!"

I'm thinking that if she *really* didn't want her kid shooting guns all the time, she probably shouldn't have named him HUNTER in the first place.

The one year my son spent in public school, he had classmates named Racer and Chase. Racer had a brother named Wheeler -- I'm guessing they had hyperactive tendencies. Chase had a brother named Wade -- once again, I'm guessing they lived up to their names as often as possible. People -- words mean things, and *names* have incredible influence!
