He went to the school and told the teacher to stop calling me Larry because it was not my name. He had named me Lawrence, not Larry, I did not like it. The teacher said he'd say what-ever he wanted because it was his classroom
They actually got into a fist fight over it. Both guys went to jail. My dad came home and told me,:" he won't be calling you Larry anymore."
A week later, that teacher came into school for the first time since then and never called me Larry again. lol

Now, I'm not a child and I want to let you all know, though I don't care for the name Larry, I won't be child-ish over it. Just wanted to share a funny story. :D
