What's in a Name?

So today on the way into school, I asked John Thomas if he liked his name. He responded yes. I then asked if he liked to be called JT (yes people try to shorten his beautiful name to JT, something I don't like-well something I hate). He said "no, I do not like JT at all, but can I be ET?" :) I said sure you can be ET. Then he said "No, I want to be John, so that I can be like Daddy". Is he awesome or what?
