"logistically how do you usurp on skis" is the best sentence I've read this week (maybe month? maybe YEAR? So good).

Love this. Long story but oddly similar. My kids and I lived in Germany for about 2.5 yrs. One of my really good friends has a cousin who lives in the Netherlands. This cousin would often come up to Germany for a visit. My youngest son at the time could not pronounce his name. My child changed this stranger’s name to Cow Toot. It has stuck to this day. His name in my contacts and for most of the rest of us who know him is Cow Toot. Thankfully he hasn’t overthrown any political powers due to the unfortunate new monicker.
