They did when I was little. Then, they started calling me <em>Dave<\/em>, but nowadays all my friends and even the teachers call me <em>NutJob<\/em>.

Still, she persists!<\/p>\n<p>At the same time she\u2019s doing some minimal, discreet hand gestures, all trying to say the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab At some stage, I had to tell <em>Maman<\/em> about you. That was weeks ago. Maybe I said your name was <em>David<\/em>. But since then I always say <em>Dave<\/em> whenever I mention you. I don\u2019t know why she said <em>David<\/em> just now! \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>NutJob doesn\u2019t even know there\u2019s a message and he can see only her eyes darting about, and some novel hand gestures.
