Baby Review: "Jie Jie"
Time was, when any baseball player worth a lick had a good nickname:
"Dizzy" Dean
Mordecai "Three Fingers" Brown
James "Cool Papa" Bell
Fred "Bonehead" Merkle
"Gaylord" Perry
If this young whippersnapper were an ol' time ballplayer, he would be fairly easy to name.
Same would be true if the little fellow were an X-Men.
Or better yet, if here were born into the Choctaw Nation, or if he were a member of one of those street gangs where they give you a fun nickname based on a physical quirk.
As fate would have it though, his parents just named him "Jie Jie."
As is Chinese tradition, the responsibility of giving him a respectable name will now fall to his classmates.
Also, if you have a spare kidney to give, Jie Jie would like to have a word with you.

I'm not the one making the rules, but I'm pretty sure the "Amazing Lace" was meant to strictly reference the reality TV show and not intended to offend anyone of the Asian race. No animals were harmed in the making of this knitalong, either.
By the way, the "the" in "Freddy the Lionhearted" is misspelled. Don't go getting all bent outta shape because I pointed it out to you, either. You Asian.
