middle name

Again, a story from the staff room. For some reason the class was talking about middle names. One boy, Ben, was asked what his middle name is. "Jamin", he said. "Jamin?" the teacher asked, thinking this was a strange name for a conservative white family to give their child. "Yes, Ben Jamin Rogers." Of course, at this point she clued in (as I'm sure you already have) to the fact that his name is just Benjamin. But he doesn't realize this of course. This was enough for a good laugh in the staff room.
