Rachel has decided that our new names are "Mudge," (Drew) and "Bubba" (me).
"BUBBA?!?" I wailed. "How about Ima? Ima is Hebrew for mother." (I was thinking of a Jewish/Christian lesbian couple I know; one is called Mommy, the other is Ima.)
"'Bubba' is like 'Bubbie,' which is Russian for 'grandmother,'" Rachel explained. "Do you want 'Bubba' or 'Bubbie?'"
"I'll take 'Bubba,'" I groused.
Mudge, I have no idea where that came from. I'm kind of getting used to both, though. Now we have to think of an equally ridiculous nickname for Rachel...
