My Dad called me "Jo"

I don't actually remember why, I think it had something to do with a friend he worked with who had a witty sense of humor and the two of them got along well~

My Dad was my Good Friend for as long a I can remember

I still recall being called in for dinner one Summer day~I hid near the side of the big porch on the front or our house!!Giggling while everyone was looking for me.

My Dad walked out onto the porch(yeah, he saw me hiding, but never let me know) and Hollered, HEEEY JOOOO~ three times, then, he simply looked over the porch railing and said~

Come on in Jo, it's time for dinner -----------


Great Memories are Better than Money in the Bank!!!!

My dad had weird pet names for both my brothers & me. I was Monkeydinks. OMG, I can't believe I'm telling you guys this!

good thread!
I am often simply called "Stace".
At work I'm called - SMuss - or by my last name.
SMuss b/c it used to be my email address.
Why they call me by my last name I don't know b/c its way longer then my first name!
When I was starting to talk I had trouble saying my own name so it would come out - Tae-Te - soooo I've been called Tate or Tater all my life, it was even my CB handle when my dad drove semi.
For awhile I was also called Daisy or Daci b/c my cousin's couldn't say my name.
And the other is when I was in elementary school I went with my grandma to her sister's house to make candy or noodles or something- and my great uncle instead of calling me by my name he called me Ralph or Fred- all evening. I went home and told my dad and he has called me Ralph ever since!
I come from a long line of "nicknamer's".
My grandma that passed away - her name was Grace Josephine and she went by Josie or "Ting" I really don't know where that started.
My grandpa that has passed away was always referred to as "Cot". I have an Uncle Buck, and an Aunt Dutch also and neither are their given names.
My dad has been called "Short" or "Shorty" all his life. Some of his cousin's when introducing him to their significant other - usually call him "Short" and I have heard several of them say "And I can't remember what your real name is b/c I just know you as "Short"!"
When I was a child My maternal grandma was "Grandma TED" b/c my mom's youngest brother is 16 years younger than she is so when I was growing up he lived at home - so I associated him with them. My paternal grandma was "Grandma TIPPY" b/c we had a dog that in the summer lived with us b/c she could be outside and in the winter she went to my grandma's where she could live inside so I always associated Tippy with them.

My mom used to call me Missy when I was younger. My youngest brother called me Twace and he'll sometimes write this name in my birthday cards. A lady who used to babysit us called me Helpful Hanna. She called my brothers Spunky Monkey and Crying Hyena. Some of my co-workers call me Trace for short.

Ralph is also on of my mom's nicknames!
