name

dominick: i know your real name.

me: that's nice.

dominick: but i'm not allowed to say it here, because that's disrespectful.
BUT!
(with a sly look and a conspiratorial whisper) when i get home...i'm going to say it...a lot...very loud...in my backyard...with my brother

and at that he sat back, with a triumphant look on his face, and continued working on his math, while i was left with the image of dominick and christian in their backyard shouting my first name over and over at the top of their lungs.

i hope he did it.
