mini-me: Titus. |
Titus was born in the year 2000,
the year of the DRAGON.
Titus's English name comes from Greek, meaning:
"Giant" (Titan)
Titus's Sino-Korean Name (Tae Gyung) comes from the following Chinese
Ideographs:
...which means: "Great Whale"
Titus really has a BIG heart and is so loving.

2000/June/0? Korea Allegedly, all Koreans are born with a birthmark, which Koreans call,
"Mongolian Spot". It is usually on the buttocks.
It is called, "Mongolian Spot" because it is believed that the
Mongolians (I've since learned that all Mongolians share this trait). It
disappears before age four.
Titus, who only embodies half the Mongoloid genotype, has (had) the
"Mongolian Spot" phenotype. Interesting, huh? |

2001/August/12 Korea
Titus, at that time, was old enough to crawl around and even climb
into Dad's chair, which I think he liked only because Dad wanted to sit
in it, and if it was good enough for Dad, then it was good enough for
him. |

Titus followed me around, because he wanted to play with the camera
which I held in my hand. |

Titus and Dad in diapers.
At this time, Titus had an aversion to wearing diapers. He
wanted to run around in the buff. I had to put a diaper on in
order to convince Titus that wearing diapers was "cool".
Yes. It worked. |

On my way home from work, some guy saw us (Titus and me) and just had
to take a photo. He had never seen anything like this before in
his life. He sent me a copy by e-mail. I'm glad he did.
Titus was grabbing for the guy's camera. He loved/loves
cameras. |

Titus, back in Korea, thinking how he could get his hands on that
awesome camera.
Apparently, he has sun-bleached hair and a bump on his forehead;
neither one surprising. |

Titus "Hall of Fame" Stories
Date: Sometime in December 2006
Titus and I were shopping at Carrefour. Titus said,
"Dad, I want to buy some muscles." I replied, "You can't
buy muscles." He then, asked, "How do I get muscles?"
I informed him, "You have to exercise!" He then exclaimed,
"Exercise?! How do you do that?" I laughed and said,
"Ask Mr. Cooper, your P.E. teacher."
Date: Sometime in January 2006
Titus and I were walking in the snow one leisure Saturday.
Out of the blue, Titus looks up at me and said, "Dad, what is that stuff on
your face?" I answered, "It's called a beard." He
then exclaimed, "Oh! Like Santa Claus! Santa Claus has a
beard." I chuckled and confirmed, "Yes, like Santa Claus."
After a few seconds of thinking, Titus says, "But, you have
a beard all over."
Date: February 4, 2006
I was watching a music video of my favorite song. Titus
loved the song, so he came over to watch it with me. He asked, "Who
is that?"
I answered, "September."
He then got a bit
perturbed and said, "No, What's her name?"
I said, "That's
her name! September is her name!"
He thought for a few seconds,
then announced, "Like the month! Wow! Same!"
I confirmed,
"Yes. Same, same."
Then, he asked, "Where is she
from?"
I said, "Sweden."
Then, after watching a bit more of the video, Titus asked,
"Is she your girlfriend?"
I said, "No. I don't have a
girlfriend."
He then announced, "O.K. She's my
girlfriend."
After the video ended, Titus declared, "Dad, I want to go
to Sweden."
I said, "Me too, Titus. Me too."
