Ya Doesn't Has To Call Him JJ
 |
| Uncle Spencer, the youngest Crank and two Crankettes |
The
Massachusetts crank is back in the land of the missing “R.” He visited for ten days, and it was great fun
having him. It was probably a bit boring
for him but he did catch up with old friends from his past.
It was a bit
scary having him drive to visit his friends.
He only had to travel about 15 miles across the Raritan River via the
Garden State Parkway, but no matter how much you believe your son is ready to
take the car by himself, you still see an eight year old boy pull away, not an
almost 17 year old young man. I don’t
remember when that feeling goes away, but I’m sure eventually it will.
I know Mrs. Cranky will miss him as do I, but I’m afraid the two of us picked on her a
little bit in stereo, she may not miss that.
Actually before the stay was over, she had him on her side and the two started
to gang up on the old man.
The youngest
crank is now the biggest, at least in height.
He has his own nicknames for the two of us. He calls Mrs. C. “Step-fish” or “K-dog.” To this day I have no idea where those names
come from. He calls me “Double D” and I
have no idea what that is about either…it is not a man boob thing.
The youngest
crank left with his own new nickname. It
was bestowed upon him by “Step-fish.”
She started referring to him as “JJ.”
This name was first used after he was teasing Mrs. C about an almost
driving accident she had on an unfamiliar road after dark. I had no idea where this name came from at first. I finally found out what it stood for:
Jerk Junior!
Apple… tree…not
far away.
He's a fine looking young man, Cranky. You sure your DNA is there somewhere? *giggle*
ReplyDeleteMassachusetts..."Land of the Missing R". Hahahaha!
Not far at all! :-)
ReplyDeleteoh, that made me laugh! you three must be a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, my son is almost 26 years old and I always breathed a sigh of relief when I saw or heard him arriving home when he was living with us :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice visit you had with "JJ". Fun to have nicknames too for each other :)
betty
Or you can call him Ray or you can call him Raymond.
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahahaha. Mrs. Cranky has a thing for the word jerk doesn't she. Or, she thinks she's surrounded by jerks. Not sure which.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day Cranky. ☺
Double D...ha
ReplyDeleteOur son was a better driver than me the day he received his license, still there's always the unexpected and I guess parents never stop worrying. Our boy is in the air this morning on his way to Puerto Vallarta. We worry.
ReplyDeleteHe's handsome--I assume he looks like his mother!!
ReplyDeleteBoth my daughters are excellent drivers. My sister and my brother taught them. Except parking. I taught them to parallel park. So, they are all round excellent.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true.
ReplyDeleteWe still still see our kids as an eight year old boy.
You'll never stop worrying, for sure. Now, those nicknames are quite creative; are you sure you had nothing to do with them?
ReplyDeleteJJ is a super cute way of saying junior jerk (filing this idea for future use as grandchildren grow.)
ReplyDeleteMy least favorite parenting phase was when they began to drive. Oh man they were bad drivers and I was a short-tempered teacher.
I'm guessing it would be fun to be a fly on the wall at your house, listening to you all call each other those affectionate nicknames!
ReplyDeleteFifteen miles AND across a river? I am worried just thinking about that.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, Junior Jerk.
ReplyDeleteDouble D could be for Dear Dad.
JJ is priceless. Step-fish is quite clever. Hum Double D--gotta think on that one. You all are a hoot.
ReplyDeleteI know all about names being messed up !
