[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 196794, member: 1514"] Well...I dont know if this is quite as good but here goes. This is all about my dad. My dad's real name is Wilbur. Yeah I know...what a thing to be saddled with...but what makes it even better is he is a Junior...lol. You know..I dont even know why he is the Jr either considering he isnt the first son? Makes you go hmmm doesnt it...lol. Anyway....I guess growing up the boys all had nicknames and his was (oh gag me) DoDo. Yes you read that right! As in Number 2. I have no idea why, no one ever explained that one to me. He grew up in a little small town 12 miles northwest of Boston. Everyone knows everyone there. Both he and my mom grew up there. I would go back up there to visit family and walk into places and hear..."Oh hey...DoDo's daughter is up visiting from down south!" Now my dad also always hated the name Wilbur. I dont think he much liked Will either. He goes by Bill and on most paperwork he signs it William. All this makes it quite interesting because I have a William as a son who I call Billy, an ex who I call Bill, and now a daughter in law we call Billie...lmao. [/QUOTE]
