Negative, I am a turd nugget*

I enjoy bestowing nicknames on my children.

Sometimes they're tame, like "honey." That's a standard here. As in Honey, get your hands outta the toilet. Usually my nicknames are more colorful, causing interesting conversations with the girls like this one today:

Emma: Because it's not for babies, right?

Mike: Nope, it's not for babies. Are you a baby, Alison?

Alison: Yeah.

Mike: Are you a baby, Kristin?

Kristin: No. I'm a... a... turd nugget!

Me: Yes, you are. Mommy's little turd nugget.

Alison: I'm not a turd nugget.

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on that classroom wall...
