Luke "Scott" Walker

My little brother, Matthew Scott Walker, is a senior in high school this year.
(Along with his twin sister, Melissa).




When Matt was in elementary school he decided that he wanted to change his name to Luke, so that he could be like Luke Sky Walker. 

Luke Scott Walker = Luke Sky Walker

He told his teachers that he went by "Luke" at home and he started writing Luke on all of his papers.
He told all of his friends that his parents had changed his name to Luke. 
He tried to convince everyone that he met that his name was indeed Luke.  


He was able to pass off this charade for over a month, until my mom noticed that he had "Luke" written on all of his crumpled up homework assignments. When she finally stopped laughing, she had to call the teacher and explain what happened.  Poor Luke had to return to being boring old Matthew. 

I've always secretly known that Matthew still had hopes of becoming "Luke Scott Walker" someday. (Maybe even planning on changing his name with the social security office when he turns 18.)

Now I have proof:
