Nickname Games

Somewhere on the road to totally stop swearing in front of my children, I started calling them Turkeys. Like gobble gobble. It is pretty much universal around here and you can use it in almost any circumstance. From, "Goldie, stop being a turkey" to "Who is my sweetest turkey lurkey?" It works. The girls are known as Turkey Pants and Turkey Lips respectively.



Today we were driving and I heard a persistant phrase coming out of Goldie. What in the hell was she chanting? It took me a half hour, but eventually I figured it out. She was saying " I Turkey! I Turkey! I Turkey!" over and over and over again. I should really check out if we have a deductible for psychiatric care. Crap.
