How I got my nickname

Well...32 years ago this March 19th, I married the man of my dreams. We started out (some of this is fuzzy...as I'm 54 years old...) calling each other "love" and that evolved into a language (our love language - clean, but ours). One day I called playfully called Richard a "turkey" and he called me that back and it stuck. His nickname is "Wubs" and that's from the original love language - Wubs, Wubbies - Love, Lovie....(get it?). I'm not sure how the "s" was added. But it stuck.

Well, "Turkey" stuck until I became pregnant with our first daughter (she is now 30 years old). We bought skiis for me and they offered to engrave them...so we added "Mama" to the nickname. We went skiing on our anniversary at Snowbird, on the Chickadee lift and went out to the symphony and dinner. He really wore me out! But, I digress....

Everyone else calls each other names like "dear" and "honey" and "darling", but for me...those are condescending and he better not call me by those names unless he wants me to grit my teeth and call him some derrogatory names back. He learned that one pretty early on....*G*

So, it's nothing to do with a feast-filled holiday in November and it's nothing to do with a country, but it has been a "safe" and hardly used nickname on the net for about 15 years now.

Ok...now you can get back to TW or whatever you are absorbing at the moment.

Nothing to do with Bella and Edward or TW - sorry!
