Which brings me to my current dilemma, what to call my daughter? I don't want to use her name (which is of course is totally beautiful) but The Daughter just sounds too, well, cold. I thought about calling her by her nickname, but it's a bit awkward. You see her nickname, is kind of one of those names you don't plan for and happens. Like the poor kid from high school everyone call barf cause in the first grade he got sick in the middle of a test, and he's totally hot but just got stuck with this awful name that just well, stuck.
Yeah, hers is that kind of name. My beautiful, golden ringlet haired, blue eyed, princess of a daughter is called Poose. She earned at about two days old. See, she wasn't always so golden haired, it was super dark brown when she was born and she came out with a TON of it, so when my mom came and saw her perfectly swaddled, politically correct or not, she said she looked like a little papoose. It just sort of stuck. Everyone knows, for nicknames, sometimes two syllables is far too many so low and behold, she became our little Poose.
It's just one of those names that's cute, but just for some reason it feels weird saying in public. Too many chances of it getting misheard or used in the wrong context I guess. Take for example my adorable niece, who like most Americans, endearingly added an "y" at the end calling her "Poosey". Um.... OK, yeah, not so cute anymore. Or when I, like a proud and loving parent use possession when referring to her: "My Poose". So yeah, you can gather what I'm getting at in that I need another name for her when it comes to this blog.
I've decided I'll call her Little Sass. One, cause she's just that kinda special girl and it totally suits her. Two, I myself (for rhyming and other sake) have often been called sassy and duh, peoples kids always get called "little" them. And three, I just really like that Tenacious D song.
In case you haven't heard it, check it out.
