We were watching a news bulletin when there was word of a study that claimed to show that mothers play a greater role in the naming of a baby.
This led Tiki to inquire of me if I was, indeed, aware of whether it had been my mother who had done so.
“I can’t recall. I was a bit young at the time. But I was told that ‘Ian’ was Scottish for ‘John’.”
“Perhaps your mother thought you looked a bit like an American toilet!” She retorted.
