OH HI, WHAT'S YOUR NAME

Invariably when you meet someone you almost always say "Oh hi, I'm ____. What's your name?" Then that person tells your there name, maybe Sarah or Kenneth or Langston Hughes or what have you, then they ask yours. A simple exchange.

This is what happens when I meet someone new.

Oh hi, I'm ____. What's your name?

Kipin, nice to meet you.

Kim?

Kipin.

Kibbi?

Kipin.

Kingpin?

Kipin.

Kippin?

Kipin.


Before you scoff and call hyperbole, I have numerous witnesses who will tell you that during my four years in the high school lunch line, I was always called either "Kingpin" or "Skippy". Maybe Kip like....twice.
