Nicknames

Have I mentioned our family tradition for nicknames? Not so much "tradition" as "inability to say names without shortening or making them cutesy." And not so much "family" as "my."

Tugboat: Tug, Buh-boh, Fatty McPancakes, Barfboat, etc.

Reese: Kitty, Reesy Piecy

Ryker: Ryk, Ryky, Ryky Bike, Rock, Little man

Jackson: Jack, Jack Attack, Jack Jack, Bud...and the newest addition, and reason for this post...Michael Jackson.

Jack's friend Chucky calls him Michael Jackson - all the time. "Michael Jackson - come over here!" "Michael Jackson - wanna play with me?" "Did you see what Michael Jackson just did?" He doesn't laugh or smirk or anything. I think he might think that's his real name.
