"Potamus"
When I was still in utero last August my mom asked her cousin-once-removed Megan what she should name me. "Well...", Megan said, "my favorite animal IS the hippopotamus." Everyone agreed that naming me Hippopotamus Brown-Stevens Van de Water would have led to more than my fair share of ridicule in school, so we eliminated the potentially offensive half and came up with one of two in-utero nicknames: "Potamus".
What a coincidence then when I inherited this comfy fleece outfit from my friend Dominic with a big blue hippo on it. I guess together that makes me hippo-Potamus again. So much for planning.
