ELLISON, A.K.A., LITTLE BROTHER

-Papa, have you seen the movie Undercover Brother?
-I have, boy. It's quite good, actually. Very smart.
-Well, I liked it, too. And I think that, from now on, I want to be known as "Little Brother."
-"Little Brother"? You know that onesie you're wearing is a hand-me-down, don't you, boy?
-I do, Papa. But you are always telling me that the meaning of a word or words is flexible -- not fixed. Right?
-Right. And yes, I do say that.
-Well, then Little Brother doesn't have to refer to a younger male sibling, right?
-Yeah, that's right, Little Brother. That's right.
