It's all in a name

The other day I met a Korean woman with a strong accent and she introduced herself as Ellen.  We talked about this at dinner and how sometimes people from other countries will choose an American name when they move here.  I asked the boys if they could choose any name they wanted, what would it be.

Benjamin quickly answered, "Scott Benjamin!"  He loves his name since it is just like Daddy's!

Then John Stephen answered, "Austin!"

Scott and I completely cracked up.  Obviously, at his age, John Stephen did not understand the humor in that answer.  (Austin Powers)

I asked John Stephen why he would choose that name and he said very innocently, "Like the kid on Benjamin's baseball team."  (who happens to be the star player)
