“I wanted them to all have names of leaders,” Johnson said. “That was important for me.”
“I began to say to him, ‘Good morning, General Grant! Hey General Grant,’” Johnson recalled. “He would just start talking back to me like he knew exactly what his name was. He just came into the world with this understanding, this command and presence. So I called him General.”
Teresa also came up with signals that denoted her boys’ names.
“You know boys don’t want their moms to walk in saying, ‘Hey, baby! How you doing?’” Johnson said with a laugh. “I give Grant that salute, and he’ll do it back to me so we know we’re talking to each other.”
“It evolved,” she said. “Originally, it was ‘I’m here. We see each other. I’m here for you.’ Then, at one game, he was getting a little bit frustrated. Then, the salute became a signal of ‘Let it go’ or ‘Move on’ or ‘That was a good play.’ I use it however it’s needed.”
