Uhhh... WHAT?

My parents know that I have a tendency to bring out my radar. In fact, my nickname used to be Radar due to my unintentional eavesdropping. Oops, my bad. But this is what I heard this morning. And yes, I'm writing about it because it made me laugh so hard but disgusted me at the same time.

Ok, so while walking around the hotel, cuz I'm at work right now, I noticed this couple in the gym, right near the spa. They were EXTREMELY affectionate. She had her arms around his neck and he was definitely grabbing her ass. He was like a kid in a candy store. I chimed in on their conversation as I was walking by to the spa office. OMG. Pet names galore.

Pookie, Honey Bear, Ladybug, Shining Star... I kid you not.

I was in the office with the door cracked just listening to this game they were playing. Well, I dunno if it was a game, but at this point, I was hoping so cuz those kind of nick names... Jesus.

Their conversation went like this:

Dude: Pookie, I wanna go swimming now.
Chick: But Honey Bear, I want to work out a bit more.
Dude: Lover Lady, pleaseeee.
Chick: (giggles)
Dude: You're my Shining Star, you know that?
Chick: (giggles)
Dude: I love you.
Chick: I love you, too, Papa.
Dude: I'm so glad we were able to get away this weekend.
Chick: Your little Lady Bug is glad, too.

[[ the rest is too torturous to continue ]]

So... all I'm sayin' is... I understand nick names. I get it. Everyone I'm friends with has nick names. Muffin, JJ, Socks, Skillet, Daleis, Tollis, Bee, Aisz, MalMil, Tuna, Cutie Face, MS, EJS, G-Pa, Grammcakes, Biss, Sissy Poo... I mean... I even abbreviate Andrew's name to Drew. I dunno - I dig. So yeah, I think you get it. Nick names can be fun and personable.

But, please, for future reference, PLEASE, refrain from Honey Bear, Shining Star, Lady Bug and all that crap cuz honestly, you're not only embarrassing yourself, but you're making others embarrassed for you. And you're making them throw up a little bit in their mouths.

God, before you know it, that couple will be calling their kids Sweet Spirit and Dandy Daffodil or something. Jesus. Poor things.
