Our new bull in Texas had no name. The old bull was called Big Tex, so named by the Texas granddaughters for obvious reasons. But the new bull had no name. The girls could not name the bull without seeing him so he stayed nameless….until now. Now his name is Wee Willie.
Last evening, son David was having a drink with a man from London, England, who he has known in the past. They were both at an insurance meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. For some reason, they were discussing ranches in Texas, specifically Longhorn cattle. In passing, the question of our new bull came up. It turns out that the young mans son, who is 3, would like to name the bull Willie after himself, whose name is William. I received a text asking about the name but as I was watching the baseball game, I did not answer until this morning. Of course I agreed to Willie but added the Wee in honor of the young man, who is probably wee in height.
The young man has never seen a longhorn bull so he is wanting David to send a picture of his namesake. Wee Willie is definitely not wee but the name will be a reminder of the young English lad of 3 who is fascinated with Texas ranches and Longhorn cattle. We will smile every time we use his name. Wee Willie is a ridiculous name for this bull and we love the name. Wee Willie is our bull.
