[quote=scaredyclassic]You need to be able to talk to your kids. I have pet names for each one. Like “special one”, “specialty product” etc… I keep coming up with new names. But i ask first. For ibstance I ran loin fruit by its intended target before calling him that and he said no that won’t work. So I respected that. If I had just kept calling him loin fruit or his brother fruit of the loin, that would’ve not been respectful.

We do this name thing all the time! Big fun! I also ask if it is O.K.
So many names I can’t remember, French Toast , Bacon, Catfish, Super Kid, Smart Kid, Big stuff, “The Stuff” , Stuffilufigus. Runner Kid , Soccer Kid, etc.
Now they call me “Flabby Dabby : G-d of Snacks” because I am so tight with sweets and stuff and I had a tiny bit of fat once.
Yesterday , the whole family was cutting tree branches,
I was Rough Cut, Mom was Smooth Cut, then there were the three boys Tough Cut, Buff Cut, Slick cut, then we all took turns calling each other” Butt Cut”, that really got them laughing, mom was never Butt Cut. Mom never gets insulting names , ever. Best Working together day ever, no whining , no apologies from the ass needed.
