My niece, Molly, was expecting her third child and I decided to make a blanket and stuffed toy for the baby. She has two young boys and I did not want them to feel left out, so I decided to make something for them as well. Molly (my wife) suggested a Longhorn<\/a> for the oldest son, Oliver, since Molly (niece) and her husband both went to the University of Texas. I thought it was a great idea. I went to Texas A&M University though, and it took all I had in me to get excited about a Longhorn!! He turned out really cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the cutest part of this story is what Oliver decided to name him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horny. That’s what Oliver named him. Horny. I died laughing when Molly (niece) was telling us some of the conversations they had surrounding this Longhorn. “Dad, will you get Horny for me?” I think she told us too that he showed off Horny for show-and-tell in Zoom kindergarten. I can just imagine the look on the teacher’s face!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
