What's my name?

Have you heard the kids tale where the evil person steals a baby and he won't give the baby back unless they can guess his name? Well my story will be similar to this I am going to tell you all about myself everything but my name. Your challenge if you choose to accept it is to use the clues that I give you to figure out what my name is . However, don't worry I don't plan on taking your child or anything else of yours besides your time.

I am the youngest of three kids. My mother definitely used a theme when she named us. I am not going to come right out and tell you what that theme is because it would make my challenge for you to easy. Instead I am going to start by telling you all about my brother and sister. Believe it or not who they are will give you major clues about who I am and what my name is. My brother and sister are very unique in their personalities.

Rome is the oldest of us three. He is the tallest. He is over 6 feet tall. He is also the most athletic of us three. Hie height made him a naturally good basketball player. In fact he was such a good player that he got a full ride scholarship to Central Washington University. He had a hard time choosing what his major should be . Our mom tried to get him to become a business major so that he could take over the family business. We all have worked on our families fruit farm since we were very young. Rome was bored with the fruit farm and the small town we live at . He wanted to to get as far away from both of them as he could. It was not until he met the love of his life Rosa that he decided what he wanted to do with his life. Rosa was a foreign exchange student from Ecuador. He had never even left our state before he met her. She made him want to see the world and what it had to offer. He decided to become a photographer and now him and Rosa travel the world taking amazing photographs for magazines. Some would say that he and Rosa roam the world together.

Queen is the middle child and she is always seeking attention for herself. Rome called her a diva when we were growing up. Her lifetime goal has always been to become a Queen. She would like to be known as Queen Queen. Her first attempt to become queen was when she entered in our county's festival's beauty pa-gent . Our family does not own the only fruit farm in our area. In fact it's just one of many in our county. So it only natural that are county's festival is in the springtime and is called the apple blossom fest. Our Mom focuses more on hard work than on beauty. So her and queen often don't understand each other. Queen had to get beauty advice from her friends and her friends mom's. However, mom never misses one of Queen's pageants even it meant that she had to work late in the night to catch up on farm work Mom really hoped that after the apple blossom fest pageant Queen would focus more on helping on the farm. Unfortunately,Mom's hope was not fulfilled. Once Queen won the pageant she kept wanting to enter more contests. Mom was the first to climb on the stage to hug queen when she won the Ms. Washington pageant. Queen will soon be entering the Miss American pageant and arrangements have already been made for the whole family to be there to support her. Rosa and Rome are cutting their trip to Chile short to be there Queen has truly become a pageant queen and we are all proud of her.

Do you have any idea what my name could be yet? Believe it or not I have given you a lot of clues already. I am about to give you some more when I tell you about my parents. My parents have always told us that they loved each other at first sight. They both went to the same Community College. Each year that college has a spring Gala. They both went to the Gala by themselves but left together. A year later they got married and a year after that they bought the fruit farm. The first field of Apples tree they planted were Galas. A year after that Rome was born and they planted a field of Rome apples. The next year Queen came and they added a field of queen apple trees. I was born the next year and before I tell you what kind of trees was planted after I was born let me tell the sad part of our family story. Our dad died 5 years after I was born. He was working on the farm dropped down dead after having a massive heart attack. He was so busy with the fruit farm that he never had time to go to the doctor . Our mom was devastated by his death and locked herself up in her room for 3 days straight. After the funeral she buried her sorrows in making the fruit farm business successful and taking care of us kids,

Out of all of us 3 kids I am the one that loves our fruit farm the most. Perhaps that is why I am so close to my mom the only thing she loves more than the fruit farm is us kids. Mom started telling me I had a green thumb just like my dad shortly after he died. It was then when I began harvest seeds from any apple that I ate and dried them out so I could plant more trees. Each year since I was about ten I plant an entire new field of apple trees with seedlings that I grew from seeds t. That's how I got my nickname after the famous man who introduced growing apples from seeds to several different states. So, have you guessed what my name is yet? If you haven't yet let me introduce myself. My friends call me Johnny Appleseed but my mom named me Jonathan after the apple.
