What's your kid's nickname at home?

Postby Nuit » 18 Apr 2009, 10:27

When she was < 6 months, I called her Small Babies. Then she got a bit bigger, and became the Big Spooch. Now she's either:

Squabs
Chocolate Hobsons (Hobsons for short)
or
Chicken Waffles



God help her.
It's raining again here. I'm rising up like a beautiful bubble to the surface.

A wicked wind whips up the hill, a handful of hopeful words.

Ours is blobby after the first picture the consultant drew for us. He hasn't been born yet though.

When he comes I plan to sit on a long haul flight next to Sandman and stab him regularly with a pin. :D

The consultant drew you a picture? You know you can get little photies of junior, these days? They really do all look the same, though. I'm not sure it's not just a DVD they put in to shut you up,

My daughter was called Ni-ni until she turned ten or so. Right now my son is just called "the D".
Your pal.

The housekitten has had many, many handles.

He was my "buddy" when he was very little.

His dad called him "hammy" because his little legs got so fat, and the burrito when he was just new and all swaddled.

When he was just beginning to get his groove, he was "Chicken Nugget."

He's still Mo-Mo sometimes--peach in Japanese, and other times he's "Big Mac."

Right now, he's "Tumpling." This is because he came home from school the other day and asked me to cook Chinese style pot stickers for him, calling them "tumplings" in stead of "dumplings." I thought it was so cute! It is also cute that he has told me it's okay if I call him that, but not in front of anyone else--so, SHHHHHH--don't tell him I told you!

It's distrubing how many of these monikers have to do with food . . . . .

Bug

For a long time he was just 仔仔
As it is, we seem to regard it as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has taken one side or the other. We regard it (in other words) as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has contrived to reach the object of his reasoning. We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.
