No, I'm not talking about names for your new little puppy or crazy cat. Most of us who have been in relationships have called our significant other by a pet name. I've heard and used (rarely) the usual: honey, sweetheart, baby. The cute: sugar, sweet pea, angel, princess. And I've heard the unusual: Boobear, Dumpling, Quakers.
When Hubby and I were in college and dating, he called me Jellybean. We had dreams of having a boat one day and naming it that. Well, three kids later...no boat. And the pet names have gone by the wayside. Now I'm "Mom" and he's "Daddy". Ugh, when did we turn old and boring?
And if you have children, you've probably heard their share of names for their siblings. Buttcrack, poopface, Freddy Kruger, booger snot face. Or is this just in my house? And you're probably looking forward to the start of school. I would be too, if I wasn't a teacher.
Anyway, I'd love to hear from you. What are names you call your spouse, or that you've used on a significant other? Any fun names you've called your brother or sister? The good, the bad, the ugly. Maybe I'll use it in my next book.
