I need a new name for Barbie Stickers

barbie It would be safe to say Barbie Stickers  is a student who marches to the beat of a different drum.  That is the nice way of saying we work our butts off to keep her motivated. And not biting others.

This year, she is no longer interested in Barbie stickers for merely stepping out of the car.  She has moved on to bigger and better things.

Yep.  She has fallen in love with a 6 foot inflatable kangaroo that was intended to be a decoration in the media center.   She will do her work just for a nod of approval from this inflatable kangaroo.  I am wondering when Barbie Stickers is going to look at us as if we are crazy and announce that the kangaroo is in fact, not real.

Any suggestions for a name to replace Barbie Stickers?

I went back and read the post where you first mention her and Barbie Stickers fits her. And I realized that the initials is B.S!

2.Crocodile Dun-Barbie.

3.Aborigine Barbie.

Kangaroo Barbie, or Kangabarbie if you're in a hurry.

Ann Imig said...

Captain Kangaroo

or Miss Green Jeans (related, yet subtler)

Good luck (yikes)

I can think of many but they're unprintable....

I remember way back when, the first story you told us of her. And it was then I knew why I lived in a village in India, where the children are normal.....:))

btw, did you consider using that Australian school phone message for Barbie's mother? Google Maroochydore High School Queensland phone message, and you'll hear it. Brilliant...absolutely brilliant. I saw it at Lilly's page, and one other this morning.

Roo - for the kangaroo, like Kanga's baby from Whinnie the Pooh

Chris said...

Is "Spoiled Little Turd Who Demands Constant Coddling Before She'll Do Any Damn Thing" too clunky?

Beth said...

H.K. - Fitting initials, don't you think?

Comedy Goddess - You are on a roll! I like option 2.

Ann - Miss Green Jeans! I love it!

Nancy - Barbaroo! That may just be it!

Braja - I KNOW! That is why I asked you guys. I did hear that phone message and it was perfect! I really should use it.

Brian - I like it, too!

Judy - Roo is cute.

Chris - It probably is a little clunky. I can think it though, right?

Yikes. She puts the S in Special if she's motivated by a blow-up kangaroo.

Oh man... do I have stories. Damn confidentiality rules...

But I can't think up a name - too busy w/ thinking up names for my own caseload.

She'll work for a NOD from the kangaroo??? That's awesome! Think of how much money you'll save!!!

Has anyone called the crazy farm to reserve a space for her yet?

Beth said...

Movie - I totally get the confidentiality rules! If someone did know my school, I'm guessing they'd not be able to figure out the who out of 700 students.

Beth said...

Jules - It is hysterical, actually. I'm hoping it is something she'll grow out of.

Jan said...

Barsupial Girl?

Babs-A-Roo?

KangaBie?

Hop-along Nod-At-Me?

Give me awhile - I can come up with more.

no idea what to call her, just sooooo glad that's not my kid. How exhausting.

anymommy said...

All I can think is wow, if I get a plastic kangaroo is it possible my kids would do what I ask them for a nod? I'm kidding. They are not that bad. Usually.

Michel said...

I'm not really good with kids, but I was thinking...."Bitch! Go Sit Down and Do Your Work or the Kangaroo Will Kill You!" You could call her "snot-nosed bratyass" for short in case that was too long.

Mike said...

I fell in love with a six foot inflatable thing one time!haha!

How about call her BiPolar Barbie!
