Nicknames

I've been called a lot of names in the course of my life...Jennifer Christine, Jen Brown, Jen, Jenny, Jenny-benny-poo-bear, Jen-i-faaaaah, Jennabug, Ferfer, JB, Satan (truly), and a whole bunch that are probably not appropriate for this blog. But recently, a new one has emerged. And it might be my favorite.

Last week, I had a few friends over for dinner. One of them was Jenny-lea, who is important to this story because her name is so similar to mine and another was Sonya, a two year old little girl who is maybe one of the smartest things I've ever come across.

Sonya and I have spent time together on a couple of occasions but it's been awhile. She and Jenny-lea are together quite often. Having us both together, Jenny-lea and Jen, made it very difficult for sweet Sonya to remember who was who. So, her solution? Make up a nickname for me.

Brown Jenny.

Yes, that's right. Jenny-lea and Brown Jenny.

My new nickname given to me by a two year old- Brown Jenny.

It sounds a little...wrong. Doesn't it?

And yet, awesomely funny.

Of course, it's only cute coming from her mouth. Her sweet little two year old mouth. Coming from anyone else and I might have to hurt you. So don't get any ideas.

You forgot Jennabug, Jen-a-fah, JB and Jenna.

You're about as far from Brown as anyone can be. Look at that white white white skin. Kids can be so creative. Maxine

Hey now Maxine, I can get pretty tan in the summer. Of course, it's been a couple of years since I've tried. I'm way too much of a tourist attraction here to every lay out on the beach. I'd rather be pasty white than draw all that attention.
