We we went to the Tu-tee farm (chickens) and the males were called Ooo-tu's (roosters). A groundhog was an Uckgung and if you wanted water, you wanted gung gung. My grandmother was called Mama Two. Our friends and neighbors had names like Big Foot, Bulgy (yes he had a big belly), and the guy who I went to the prom with ended up with the name Jimney Cricket. Oh I could go on and on. What must have people though when they heard us speak? Once a name was given to something, it was never called the real thing again. This was difficult if you ended up with a less than flattering name ;)Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-13378919272252640742011-07-09T09:12:38.610-05:002011-07-09T09:12:38.610-05:00My uncle was visiting when my children were little...My uncle was visiting when my children were little and my daughter was a baby. My daughter was a big baby with lots of rolls. He made a comment about her thight, "Look at those thunder thighs". A few days later my 6 year old son was playging with his sister and cute as could be said "Look at those cute little lightning legs". I almost died laughing, so cute!<br /><br />On a garden note, I plant extra plants in empty spaces also, makes the garden interesting.Peggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510899506984653485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-48070561440089278442011-07-09T08:42:32.899-05:002011-07-09T08:42:32.899-05:00APG - We sure don't seem to be plagued with th...APG - We sure don't seem to be plagued with the awful weather and bugs you gardeners in other parts of the country are!<br /><br />Lori - Cake fuzz!

Huh?<br /><br />ThyHand - (I am going to GIVE you a name of some sort. It's driving me nuts calling you "ThyHand!")<br /><br />I just laughed and laughed (and got a bunch of warm fuzzies) over your comment. The TV you described IS our TV. Well, not recessed into a wall to look like a flat screen but the 12 x 12 size!<br /><br />May I say I would be honored to have you and JJ in my home? Yes, I would. (Would I still have to call you ThyHand??)<br /><br />Dmarie - Normally I would try sprouting seeds that old inside in a wet paper towel but I didn't have the time so just threw them in the ground.

We'll ALL do the "Mama Pea-No, I'm NOT GARDENING this year" jig and world hunger will end. <br />Did I just mock you? No I did not.<br />But you are one crazy funny (and very classy)lady!

Jennifer Jo and I were visiting you at your house and you were giving us a little tour. You and your husband had rigged up all these cool little inventions. The one I clearly remember you showing us was an old TV (like an old computer monitor, only about 12 x 12") built into the wall, so it looked like it was a flat screen. It swung outward on a hinge to reveal the big old back of it, but otherwise the back was concealed. We just thought that was so nifty. The only other thing I clearly remember about the dream was that you were so nice- just as I always imagined you to be:-).<br /><br />(So sorry this comment has nothing to do with your post.)You Can Call Me Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086179213614605103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-1261401193479247892011-07-08T19:17:00.365-05:002011-07-08T19:17:00.365-05:00Awww how cute!

We had such strange nic names for things I could not even spell some of the terms we used to call everything from family to animals. And no body went by their real name. Everyone had names assigned. This post brings back memories.

Like when my little brother once asked my dad "what's a hypothetical needle"? wait for it... dad says of course "it's whatever you want it to be" :)<br /><br />I'm remaining SILENT on the top paragraph... no sorry I can't....
