A rose by any other name

The lovely L, in playing with the kids one day, came up with nicknames for all four of us. She is Sunny Mumi (got the good name because she’s the one who made them up). Boy child is Rainy (his first name). Girl child is Snow (her first name), and I was christened Thunder Mama – Boom! Boom! It is a name that is actually pretty appropriate, seeing as how when I am mad (this rarely happens) I slam doors and stomp around the house.

Now, without prompting, girl child will often call me Thunder Mama, as though she thinks it is my Big Name. She has also been known to call me Big Mama and popularly, Squishy Mama, which is usually said as she endearingly pokes my belly with her cute little finger.
