You Never Even Call Me By My Name


(Mallory with her big Dallas hair)

Lately I've found myself wondering what Mallory thinks her name is. Pretty much everyone close to her calls her something different and she has yet to refer to herself by anything other than "Mine!"
For example:

Her Daddy calls her "Mal-Mal"

Peyton (Her Ba Ba) calls her "Souci". Souci is a Peyton made derivative of Sister and it cracks me up.

Gigi and Dandy call her "Rumple" or "Rumplestiltskin"

Bebe and Papa call her "Mal Mal"or "Mallory"

Her Mother's Day Out teacher calls her "Mallory"

I call her "Sissy" or "Sis" which is crazy because I swore I would never be one of those people that called her daughter "Sister", or son "Brother". But we have referred to her as "Baby Sister" since she was in utero for Peyton's sake and the name just stuck. So much so that now our babysitters even call her Sissy. It is a habit I will eventually try to break.

It is no wonder the child doesn't refer to herself by name.

But as for what we will eventually call her, I kind of think we should let this guy be the decision maker and wait to see what comes out of his mouth. We all know he has put up with enough from her to have earned the naming rite!

That's right Sissy, you'd better start being more gentle to Nolan, Dar-lin.
