Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 10, 2014

I meant Sweetie Baby…

Her alter ego?

Jennifer Grey in ‘Dirty Dancing’ with Patrick Swayzee.

Eh, you are sweetie?

He called me “baby, baby” all night long . . .Thanks, Patsy.

Uh-oh, paranoid mode! Run away!

Baby could be a derogatory term when applied to an adult. Sweetie is a more proper term of endearment.

busted.

Mine is Honey Bear, sweet as honey and soft as a bear

Janis, Arlo is enamored by YOU! Quit complaining, sheesh! When he quits trying to sneak a peak of you in the tub, or reminding you of past moments of intimacy, then you can get upset.

I have a name. If you call me “honey” “sweetie” or “baby” I assume you’ve forgotten it, and reply “yes, whatsyourname”.

One day, soon after we were married, I prefaced a silly remark to my husband by calling him “Junior.” He sat back in his chair, pretended to have a “chaw” in his cheek, and came back with “Yeah, whaadya want, Shpahrky (Sparky)?” So we became Junior and Sparky. And when one or the other came in from outside, we were always “Hey, Love” or “I’m home, Love.”

A friend of mine started ‘dating’ a guy who would refer to as momma; it got confusing when his real mother came over from California for their wedding since both of the females would answer him. I called him Tinker because I didn’t give a tinker’s damn what he did as long it wasn’t around me.

Janis is so anal. I’m suprised Arlo even bothers at this point in life.

My wife calls me “Punk”. But it’s okay. It’s short for ’Punkin’". Unfortunately, some others call me “Punk”, but it’s not short for anything.

No one puts Baby in a corner.

At least he didn’t call her ‘Blondie’ or ‘Lois’

Baby’s the worst. If you can’t bring yourself to say her name, at least say something other than “baby”. ugh

I tend to answer her calls with, “Yes, my beloved?”With that in mind, my wife does not lend/loan her cell phone to others to call me.

Well, Baby is, uh, over there and, uh, she , um, er, Baby was and then, ah, well, uh…

I prefer pet names when asking a favor, it let’s my “dearest” know it’s not a requirement or emergency, like child clean up or shattered glass.

Tis a big slip, twixt cup and lip.
