How do you Lose it?

Everybody meet "Chewy"!  Isn't she the most adorable baby?

So, I went to visit my favourite aunt which I do at least once a week, and as I walked in she calls me by pet name. Now this is a name I got over twentySomething years ago. I began to wonder to myself if I would ever lose that name……it’s a bit embarrassing having to walk into a living room full of people you know and those you don’t know and you’re being addressed by your pet name, a pet name that sounds like someone blowing a whistle, I think it’s a bit degrading (maybe not the right word) no offence, But I know for sure it's just wrong, especially if you walked in looking like a young madam.  I love my aunt to death no doubt, but she can drop the name now, I mean….I’m old enough to have my own child, and God knows NOBODY is giving my child any silly pet names! 

I've heard people being called all sorts of names from "bambam" to "kuku" (sounds like a chicken) to  "kaka" to "1manriotsquad" (that was my younger brother's name- he was quite destructive).

And it's not just pet names. What about nicknames? how many do you have and how many do you answer to? And what is the essence of a nick name, and how does one lose such? Talking about nick names I've also heard ridiculous names like "jegzy" which I think sounds like BooBs. 

Anyways, I get home to my family friend’s house (after the visit to my aunt) and as I open the door there she was with her big bright beautiful eyes staring at me and her aunt (best mate) yells at her CHEWY! I laugh and shake my head thinking to myself she’s stuck with this name for life……but I think Chewy (she chews anything in sight) sounds kinda cool, I call her Chewy Chocolate…….sounds sweet.

So I went for the experience and I can say it was quite an experience. The blessings from God literally came down. I’m sitting at home now and my forehead feels like it’s going to up and leave my head at any moment…..which would be rather rude of it. I hate being ill, it rarely happens to me, but my body always seems to know when I’ve crossed the line and takes control of itself before I abuse her to stupor. I hope I feel better really soon, My Christmas is definitely going to be a memorable one, thanks to all my loved ones they rock!................Hmmmm, I wonder what I’m getting for Christmas.

PS: No. 2 is sooo a Lie...
