nickname

as I am leaving them after a fun filled day at New Maryland days, this was our conversation...

me: can I call you P-man?

preston: ummm, how about punk?

me: punk?

preston: yep, punk.

me: how about mr. punk?

preston: no, just punk.


as I was getting into the car I heard Preston, aka Punk, say to his Auntie Fonda, "that girl in red just called me Punk!"

meeting preston

I was so excited to meet Preston, I had heard so much about the little guy, and wanted to welcome him to Canada! Fonda and the crew arrived back in Fredericton on Wednesday night, and she returned to work bright and early on Thursday morning...so I went to the French household that Thursday after work! I had planned on what I was going to say to Preston, tell him that I had heard all about him, that he liked to do "farts and crafts" and that he was super smart...Destiny opened the door for me, and I didn't even get out "hi Preston" before the little guy (he's not really that little, he's over 4 feet tall!) exclaimed, "do you wanna see a snail?", "can we show you a snail?" "let's go outdoors, I wanna show you a snail!". So needless to say, Preston is far from shy, I don't think he stopped talking the entire time I was at the house for those few hours. So welcome to Canada Preston, I look forward to your many stories and perhaps we can do "farts and crafts" some day!
