Funny E

As you,that know me know, I have pet names I call my Grandchildren, (my children too for that matter).
So I call E, E T. I call M, Princess, I call Kiara, Angel, cay is Fluffy hair, Jarod is Beautiful blue eyes, (or I sing that one to him,).Anyway you get the picture.
That leads up to this story,
While in Oklahoma this summer, I called ET by just that, but I also called him "Hey Toot". (in total love of course). E is 6 years old.
So one day, He walked into the kitchen where I was working. Conversation goes like this.

E, "Mamaw can I talk to you a minute?"
Me, "Of course sweetie, just a moment." I am busy right now".
He waited then came back into the room, "Mamaw Can I talk to you now, It is sort of important."
I said, "Of course, I am coming now."
I put down whatever I was doing and followed him down the hall.

As we stepped into his room, he closed the door, AND LOCKED IT! I knew I was in trouble.

I sat down on his bed and said, "What's up Sweetie".
E looked at me very seriously and said, "Mamaw can you call me by my name? Not Toot or ET , Just E will be OK." I

said, "Sure Sweetie,
but I call you that because I love you so much and I think of sweet things when I see you." I was not being mean. "



He said, "Well OK you can call me E but my Mom calls me Love Bug and you can call me that".
I agreed to his conditions as long as he knew I was not being mean, I was using it as love names.
He said "I know my Mom calls me other Love names but I don't like Toot." I agreed, "No more Toot."
No more names other then ET or Love Bug and only if not in public. We must be careful to have no one watches us.

I thought it was pretty mature of him to call you into a room, in private, to discuss the problem with him! He's a sweetie.
