Names
First of all, I FOUND MY PHONE!!!!! Secondly, I think my family has problems naming things. I'll give you a taste of what I mean. Yesterday, my sister told me that my stripper name is "Titties McGee". Well I couldn't let that go unanswered, so I told her that her stripper name is "Bubbles Panclocks". For the rest of the night I continued to call her Panclocks and she answered to it every single time. This isn't the first time we've had weird names for each other. Some of them aren't appropriate enough for me to mention. But my two sisters are listed in my phone as "The Skipper" and "Da Cheat", my brother is "Lawgiver", and my brother and sister-in-law is "Trogdor and Emmersly". This problem also goes further. When our cat starts eating the plants in our house, my sister calls it "Cat Salad" which I know sounds disgusting. My brother has called me "Squinty McSquinter-pants" before. Our cat can be called Wittle Kitty, Kitten, Spyder Slayer, Gandorf Salrong Mitchell the Grey, Spike, or any other name you feel like calling him at the moment. My sister calls the movie The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe "Turkish Delight". When we talk about contraband, we usually mean having food downstairs. Scahonayed is a term we use to mean you got your butt handed to you (usually by dad) because of something you did or didn't do (usually the dishes or eating downstairs). We call the catnip used on our cats toys "Cat Weed". We have so many code names for everything that I feel sorry for anyone that has to listen to our conversations. I'm a little worried about what my children or the children of my family members are going to be named.

People who know your family have often told me I am a lucky person to have married into a fun-loving, charismatic family. I would have it no other way. This is the greatest thing about your family- no need to worry about it. Only thing I think I would ask to have changed is my rather uncreative nickname. I know the mitchells can do better- come on!(I hope I don't regret this later)
That's ok Emily. I don't have any nickname at all! But I'm sure someone sometime will come up with a way awesome nickname that you will forever be known by no matter how ridiculous it is!
I keep thinking of more and more "alternate" names that we tend to use. I think you need a followup posts with more of our dark dirty secrets.
And Emily, Abby is right. It seems to me that when Lisa got her nickname "The Skipper" she was very upset. I hope they don't make you cry.
Yes, I was very upset. I just wanted to watch the dang movie!!! We could start calling you Titties if you want Abby. Then you'd have a great nickname. And Emily, you asked for it, so I'm sure you're going to regret it.
