nickname update

Mist' Jordan's name for me has changed. It's now 'pudd'n'-pop.' I've never heard this before. Of course, his name has also been shortened to Mist' Jord'. (He's been processing a lot of my requests for boxes and tape, since everything has to be packed). I wonder what he'd call me if we worked in the same school for a third year.


And the Shawanna nickname is still going strong. I've had two new people mistakenly call me Shawanna just this week. And the name was passed around at TFA Induction last week, so even those who didn't know the original story now are caught up in it, too. I think it's around to stay - at least as long as I live in this area.

a dramatic play

Overheard in dramatic play:
Jumarr presents Zy'Aire with a bead necklace.
Zy'Aire (cooing): "Oh, Jumarr, is it for me?"
Jumarr: "Yep."
Zy'Aire: "It's what I've always wanted on a date!"
Jumarr: "Yep."
Zy'Aire (still cooing): "It's so beautiful. Where did you get it?"
Jumarr: "From the jew'ry store. And guess what? It was FREE!"
Zy'Aire (falling into his arms): "Oh, Jumarr!!"

I think the reaction to this statement was a little overdone. But Zy'Aire is nothing if not born for the stage.
