Names I am Called

This is my dad. His name is Jacob.

He's a Portland record player.


He named me Shady Grove after the song. He used to play it for me, but I've forgotten how it goes.


_______________


This is Dillon.
He's a lonely musician.
He belongs to a band called DILLON FORD and the LOSERS. It's a good band.
I think he's the only member.


He calls me Lady. Maybe it's because it rhymes with Shady, but I don't know.
I don't mind.


________________


This is Isaac.
Isaac plays football and viola. This does not describe the picture. But Isaac does.


He calls me Shades because it makes him feel like a gangster.


_______________


This is Paul.
He's my uncle.
He plays jazz piano in our living room when he comes over. He doesn't usually look this jazzy. But I figured I should draw him that way.


He called me Gadey Shrove when he was younger. But now he just calls me Shady.

_______________


This is Lafflin.
He's my friend.



He calls me Grovski.
I think it's the best so far.



All the others just call me Shady. You can call me that too, if you'd like.

The names I am called say nothing about me, and everything about you.

I like them.

I like you.
