we used to call my neighbor's little boy
rat, because, well, he looked like a lil rat. now, his name is
lil man
my dad has a friend who they've been calling
beast since college. they call him that because, well, the man is ugly.
my dad has pointed ears so his old college buddies call him
wolf.
when i was a baby, i used to follow my older sister around all the time (i learned to walk at 9 mos. trying to keep up with her). so, my dad started calling me
boo boo after yogi bear's sidekick. he still calls me that to this day. if he were to call me by my real name, it wouldn't sound right.
my little brother has no table manners. if he is eating and food is hanging out of his mouth, he will tilt his head back and flip the food in his mouth like a dang dinosaur, so they call him
t-rex.
my first name is melody, so i'm also called
mel,
mellydelicatessan (my bestfriend and her brother call me that and i have no idea why
),
mel-mel, and because i was known for being "regular" my freshman year and always in the bathroom, they called me
smelly mel
