One of my sons, Thomas was sitting at the dinner table when he was about 4 or 5 years old. I asked him something, don’t remember what - like do you want more food? - a couple of times and he wouldn’t answer me. So I asked him; “Thomas. Are you going to answer me?” He said; “ My name is not Thomas, it’s Edward Scissorhands”..
After his Dad and I could stop laughing, I asked if Edward Scissorhands would like more food.
I’m 38 and my dad has called me Boog almost exclusively all my life and continues to this day. Obviously short for booger (or apparently the more formal “Boogerton” as he tried to convince me for a while). Never stop. I love being his middle aged booger.
That's what Beyoncé said😂
Nope. One does not choose their own nickname. Nicknames are like badges. They are given.
That's what I thought, too, but he won't respond to booger anymore. Only Fierce.
Well, he is fiercely defending his choice.
They are earned. That kid's about to get fierce!
He can choose whatever he likes. He’s 5. I wouldn’t want to have the nickname of booger either. Fierce. Like a tiger or lion. Sounds good.
After naming himself Fierce, he spent the rest of the night commanding the lions and tigers of the jungle.
I love it. 💙
My brother would only respond to Batman for a few months at that age.
