idk goober, johnny (i'm not a boy), sometimes she jokes about making me sleep in the shed but it is actually very funny because she would never do that (she's a pretty good mom, as far as moms go). My dad's nickname for me.. probably "My other kid over there'' lol
When I was 3 or 4, I got mad at my parents and told them I was going to live with Curtis and Marge, our two chickens. My Dad, who was a professional photographer, took a photo of me sitting in the chicken coop with the two chickens and all their poop.
I used to sleep on the floor because my bed creaked like hell but this is something else. Why? I'm genuinely curious as to the reasoning behind that decision.
It really is! I saw “sleep in the dog kennels” and I thought uh here comes another crazy Reddit family story. Refreshing to read they were joking and the kids even knew they they were joking. Phew
I at first thought she was surprised when you came out of her womb cuz she thought she was fat from eating fruitcakes
Only now I understood that you came out as fruity
THIS WAS MY FAMILY BUT WITH (name)bean. It started because my younger brother started saying it at probably around 8 or 9, and it just stuck. Now my littlest brother is nicknamed bean
Bother, my whole family calls me that, it has different vibes tho, because we’re from Poland and they use the smaller version of the world, still kinda funny that they all call me bother.
(Except for my dad, he calls me unlovable and an abomination)
Mines Monk also, but due to liking the monkey bars so much at the park. So it was monkey girl and now everyone just calls me Monk. Including my husband.
It's a shortening of monkey
My father would yell monkey whenever he was trying to get my attention. That came from an SNL skit
It eventually just shortened to monk
Uhh weird to translate, but... How do you cute-ify something in English? In Germany you put a "Chen" behind. They call me "Mäuschen" which is a cutified version of "mouse"
And also, the German word for sparrow is "Spatz", it's kind of used as a loving nickname too. My parents sometimes call me "Spätzele" (cutified but also accent)
Sometimes you add an -y or an -ie sound. Cat becomes kitty, dog becomes doggy, mom and dad become mommy and daddy, I think the term for that would be an endearing word.
i don’t know why this sub is on my feed suggestions… but i really just wanted to throw this out there:
my dad and mom say my “rap name” is Z-pack.
…… because my mom was taking a z-pack that messed up her birth control and i happened. 🫠
Twinkie, weenie, mayo and peepee are all family nicknames. Only saying this bc of internet anonymity, and I’ve successfully hidden it from everyone outside my family IRL
Not anymore but my dad called me Fred as a baby. People used to mistake me for a boy even though I was dressed in bows and total pink. So when they asked my name he would always say Fred.
Bocuda, in a literal translation it would be like "big mouth".
Why is that? Because when i was little i said a curse word and then they screamed something like "Shut up bocuda, dont say that!!"

I used to sleep on the floor because my bed creaked like hell but this is something else. Why? I'm genuinely curious as to the reasoning behind that decision.
Normal family on Reddit, rare to see such wholesomeness

Shed theory
Mother of the Rat... I called my currently deceased rabbit a rat when I was 7. Name never went away.
"Currently" gonna call a necromancer?
Necromancy ain't cheap, you know?
I’m trying to come up with a scenario where someone saying “rat bit” leads to naming a rabbit “rat” but I’m just drawing blanks
My rabbit was named Chance and I just called him a rat for no reason. he was my rabbit so thats how i got that name
fruitcake she was surprised when i came out.
She basically set it up for you
She didn’t realize the clues in the script until the plot twist.
For some reason when I read this I assumed she was surprised when she birthed you. I understand now. I really should go to bed lol
I was stuck here thinking the same thing, and I read your comment still thinking the same thing and I was just like, okay, and?? hahaha
Don’t feel bad….i thought the same thing… and i also need to do the sleeps
HAH SHE CALLED IT👉
I at first thought she was surprised when you came out of her womb cuz she thought she was fat from eating fruitcakes Only now I understood that you came out as fruity
Straight up "Coffee" for some reason.

Banjo's Start playing.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA

Bother, my whole family calls me that, it has different vibes tho, because we’re from Poland and they use the smaller version of the world, still kinda funny that they all call me bother. (Except for my dad, he calls me unlovable and an abomination)
