Pill Haverchuck

A boy and his pillbug
A boy and his pillbug

A couple years before Atticus was born, Christine found a stuffed pillbug at an Ikea in New York so, of course, she got it for me. We named him, ‘Pill Haverchuck’ after the character, ‘Bill Haverchuck’ from the short lived tv show, ‘Freaks and Geeks.’ Christine used Pill as a back pillow through much of her pregnancy so it seemed natural for Atticus to hang with him once he was born.
