The nicknames are infecting my family

Wonder if "Jiffy" will catch on as a nickname for my brother? Rather clever; wonder whether my brother, Whitney, or my mom came up with it.

And just so people know, I get an email every time someone makes a comment so you don't need to worry about me missing any of them. I actually look forward to seeing the emails in my inbox.

OK, Skippy I knew about, and have even used, but Jiffy is a new one - maybe a reference to "Jif" peanut butter.

By the way, I used to call you "Tiger" when you were little, it was a reference to a connection I made to your
personality and mine at a certain point in my life (when I was in college) and I had a job in a structural engineers office and he would alway refer to me as Tiger.

Your Brother, when he was little, picked up on that nickname, and wanted to be called "Lion" for a while, but it didn't stick, not his fault, it just didn't work.

We, RB and I oftern refer to you as Bretski and your brother as Toddski, and I often refer to Todd as "The Toddsker", as when I call him and ask "is the Toddsker there"?

Funny, your Mother and I decided we wanted names that couldn't be shortened in to nick names, and even with that in mind I play with your names (in an effectionate way).

Anyway Brettski, aka Skippy, remember - in general all of the nick names you kids have gotten have been terms of endearment from both your family and your friends, how lucky you are!


PS. not being a technofile, what is this verd verification stuff to send the comments?
