The Middle

The middle name, my middle name specifically, maybe it did have a meaning. Other than “little king” back in the day. Maybe. Just maybe. But I couldn’t tell you. As a younger person I resented my last name. Maybe I still do, but during that time of youth I wanted to change my middle name to my last name and swipe out Berg. That was the key to just get rid of Berg, I would have been Matthew Ryan and I liked that. I still do. But I’m married and my wife is a teacher known as Mrs. Berg the chocolate lady. Hard to do what I wanted after 14 years having the same last name.

Sizzling toothpicks cinder my teeth.

So my middle name is Ryan and that is that. It does somewhere mean little King and I guess that’s cool and neat but I don’t give it much credit I don’t really think about it I use it though as much as I can and I’m definitely Matthew Ryan Berg.
