Catatonia



In the grand scheme of stupid things to name your child, Catatonia is defendable. Yes, it’s a stupid name, but it is at least a real word, and one that not too many people know off the top of their head.

Still, when I met Catatonia, I didn’t mention that, I’d spent far too many hours having to defend myself against people whose parents felt they were special snowflakes.

Instead, I murmured something about Greek being a lovely language, and that seemed to work.

We actually got on OK.

Right until she grabbed my arm.

Then we got on better.
