How I got the name Nober

This is a refresher for people who know and a good story for people who don't. The nickname is pretty unique, and I've got Sanderson for that. See, the summer before grade 5, he went to camp IDon'tRememberWhat. Now, he was on a baseball team there, which was supposed to have been called Barry's Boners; obviously, the counsellors said no dice, but they let this team be known as the Nobers'.

The beginning of the school year, I am clapped on the back and greeted with the question of "Hey Nober, had a good summer?" Because I was tall and thin at the time, and seemed to look like a penis to all my friends, the name stuck, and there are a number of people who call me that to this day.
