Cousins

Why do we nickname our children silly names? Doesn't everyone do that? Maybe everyone doesn't do it and it's just us. For the most part, all of my nieces and nephews are more often than not, called by their nicknames rather than their real names. They are as follows:

1. Jackson, AKA: Jack-Man
2. Kathryn, AKA: Katie Kate
3. Ella, AKA: Ella Bean or The Bean or Beanie
4. Joshua, AKA: Poshy Joshy or The Posh Man
5. Claire, AKA: Claire Bear or CB
6. Caroline, AKA: C-Lilly or The Carolinian
7. Allyson, AKA: Ally McBeal
8. Kamryn, AKA: The Terrorist or Kami Kamerson (usually The Terrorist)
9. Thomas, AKA: T-Bone or The Dude

We are a strange bunch.....
