I just want to prevent a "Bella Boom." Popular series have ruined the lives of infants.
"Oh, come in, Sir Ploopensfeld. Welcome to our home."
"Thank you. Please call me Arrakat. Pardon me." I finished hacking up the hairball, and disposed of it in my handkerchief.
"You have a rather unique name, if you don't mind me saying."
"Not at all. Part of the Ploopensfeld legacy is hating your children enough to saddle them with something they have to explain in classrooms, social functions, and interviews for the rest of their life. It's a generational resentment I have done my best to foster in my own children, Bouffant and Xer&tie. We're very proud of the tradition."
*I apologize if there are any Arrakats, Ploopensfelds, Bouffants or Xer&ties in the world. I'm sorry.
**I apologize to the artist, Chiara Bautista, for using her work in such a ridiculous manner: https://www.facebook.com/chiarabautistaartwork/
