30 Days of Little L - Day 19

Day 19 - Nicknames and why you have them

I don't really have a whole lot of nicknames. Big calls me brat monkey sometimes, but I don't know that I'd really call it a "nickname."

My great-grandmother used to call be "Bunny" because I was born on Easter. 

Probably the one I like the most isn't even just my nickname. I have to share it with Big. 

Before we moved into our first actual house (as opposed to a flat), we lived in a really bad part of town in Schenectady. Crime and poverty are high, there, and we eventually got tired of the bullshit and moved. But we made a few friends while we lived there. The type of friends who have nicknames for everyone. And ours became L.L. Bean. 

They tell us it's because both our names begin with L, so let's go with that.
