36. Nicknames

Kids I babysit always come up with the best nicknames. My favorite is SaSa, but I've been known as See, Seewah, Saw, Sasha, Sala, Sarita (love Guatemala), and many many others. Hearing kids attempt to pronounce my name melts my heart every time - especially when they think they've got it right and the new version sticks throughout their entire lives. Certain friends of mine have adopted some of those nicknames and given the fact that I didn't have a name that could be shortened into a nickname (which upset me quite a bit), it was quite exciting to have little minds figure out ways to do it. Those of you that live with nicknames (all the Elizabeths that go by Liz or Beth or Liza and all the Stephanies that are Steph and all the Michaels that go by Mike)... don't forget how lucky you are to get at least SOME say in your name. And for those of you that got names like Sarah... it's ALWAYS possible to shorten your name to something fun. =)
