10 Day Challenge {Day Seven}

Day Seven:

Nicknames you have and why you have them.

I have so many nicknames.  

I love nicknames, but I think they're something special that isn't something you do with someone right off the bat.  I have a pet peeve about giving someone a nickname or calling someone a nickname right after you've met them.  I know, I'm crazy.

1. Whit - This might seem obvious and a little common, but I only let certain people call me this. I have been known to finish my name when certain people have called me by this nickname.  If I don't like the way it sounds coming out of your mouth, you don't get to use it. Simple as that.

2. Whitty-Cent - My friend Tracy gave me this nickname a long time ago and now a good number of people at my work use it.  It originated because one time I was rapping and being all gangsta(don't hate) and she just busted out with this brilliant nickname.  The people at my work use it because they heard the story and thought it was hilarious.

3. Whitball - This nickname is semi-retired.  Old friends will still use it somewhere around once a year, but it's not as widely used as when I first got it in high school.

4. Whitty Two Shoes - My daddy used to call me this when I was little.  I have no idea why and he hasn't done it in years, but it makes me smile every time I think about it.
