You Can't Kill this Rooster, Either
"You can get away with dropping 'em a couple times, and they'll still be okay. Can't really do that with a little girl."
Matthew McConaughey's brother (wait for it) Rooster McConaughey, on having a son instead of a daughter. He is pictured here with his own son (WAIT FOR IT!) Miller Lyte.
Meanwhile, Matthew has explained the shockingly normal reasons he gave his new baby boy the shockingly normal name of Levi Alves:
Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person. Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: 'If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.'
Alves is mama Camila's last name.

Little known fact, Rooster: in the first four months of their lives, female babies are actually physically stronger on average than male babies. U FAIL ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON GENDER GAME.

O. My. No.
Poor Levi, may he heed his mother and ignore all of his paternal relatives.

Meanwhile great David Sedaris reference in the title. By far my favorite story of his. And all of his stories are top notch.

ha! that clever title cracked me up.
incidentally, when my husband and i heard that little mcconaughey had arrived, we immediately guessed his name could very well be zany matthew's favorite refrain of "alright, alright, alright." but levi is much better. :)

Gotta love a man who convinces his wife to name their child Miller Lyte.
I think I know someone is considering Levi for their child, but seeing as I know 1 million pregnant women, I can't remember who right now.

oh that's actually very beautiful.
(the meaning behind Levi's name, not the hair on the child)
