If you know our family well, you know that we come up with all kinds of crazy nicknames for each other. For starters, Derek and I have called each other "Boochie" since...well, I cannot even remember when or why or who started it. When Tate was born he was Tater, Tate Mouse, Mitter and apparently "Boochie" seemed appropriate for him as well as the two children that would come after him. Now we call him Tony or Roni or Tate-opolis. Then there is Brit who was Bit, Bitzy, Bitzer, Bitzerpotomus, Bellus. So here is Ellie and we call her bellie, smellie, Ewie, Petunia, Belles. Even our dog, Rose has nicknames: Rosetta Stone, Rosa Barks and Rouge (like, what your grandma calls the pink stuff she powders on her cheeks)...usually said at an ear-splitting volume ROUGE!!!!!!
But we don't limit ourselves to the monikers (thank you, Laura) listed above. Just yesterday Derek called me corn chip and fuzzy Popsicle. Its kinda fun to just call someone whatever comes to mind at the moment. It keeps life interesting and definitely keeps us laughing. Oh, and don't worry, chances are we have a name for YOU as well...you just don't know what it is...and we'll never tell!

Oh, Fruit Stand, how I miss you and your hubby! Hugs to you all!
Love this, Mer. Our family is one of nicknames as well. D. and I have nicknames for each other that are so silly and came from crazy things that no one else would find funny, but they are ours. And, we won't share them either! ;)
