More Nicknames

After yesterday's post, my dear Daddoo pointed out to me that I neglected to mention the more... whimsical nicknames I've had over the years.

For instance, he used to call me Twinkie. When I told him I wasn't overly fond of that one, he switched to Swinky. I told him, "No Twinkie or anything that rhymes with Twinkie."

My great grandmother, or Great Gram as she was known, always called me Ladybug.

My grandmother called me, and still does occasionally, Ducky Daddles.

I used to call my mom Piglet, but she decided that wasn't very appealing. She said she wanted to be called Possum. I pointed out that possums are mean and, let's face it, not very pretty. She said she pictured a baby possum. I agreed that this was acceptable.

I told her that if she was Possum, I wanted a cute nickname too. Mousling.

Then Daddy wanted one. Critter.

Yes, we're strange, but you have to admit that we're pretty damn cute.
