Invitation to play.
What names did people call you as a child that now you see as absolute proof of your ND flavor(s)?
I'll start..
Spaz monster, Tigger, space cadet, social butterfly, Tasmanian Devil, (or Taz), spider monkey, cricket, Animal (Muppet), she witch (no adults, just hillbilly kids), little professor, smarty pants, "a joy to have in the classroom...but.."(followed by so...so many words), "colorful ", mouthy, sassy pants, flea, teacher's pet..
Very few people can say my name correctly so I rarely hear it. I usually just hear descriptors that are quite accurate, if not a little too on the nose.
