They'll respond in kind, of course.
One recent morning, perhaps a bit sleepy still herself, Joanne watched as her dozy 10-year-old daughter made her way to the kitchen.
"Good morning, Sweet Peaness," Joanne said to her. Realizing the mix-up as soon as the words left her mouth, Joanne fumbled to set it right quickly. "I mean, good morning, Sweetness...Sweet Pea...Honey."
"Mom, did you just call me a p*nis?"
Why, yes, in a manner of speaking, that's precisely what she called her.
It's a story the two girls are likely not to tire of telling any time soon. And it's a story I think of every time Joanne now calls or texts me. Why? Because I have renamed her "Sweet Peaness" in my contact list.

I think I pulled a muscle laughing!
Tara, oh, I just keep chuckling, having guffawed when Joanne first told me the story in front of the girls. The girls find it outright hilarious.
Love it! I heard a similar story at work. One colleague congratulated another on a recent promotion with; "I hope your VP-ness rubs off on me" ROFL!
