Not that the person had to be a Sylvia but,
always, with a change of name, felt the words
with a lost loved one.

Jack Horner won't sit in his corner and the old woman refuses to go back to her shoe! Her kids are simply out of control . . . again, in a bit of a pickle?

Re: Special pet names between lovers.
My son Vincent and are very close. Because I live alone now and I'm 84, Vincent, whose family nickname is Chenzo, taken from when we were in Italy and the Italian version, of Vincent is Vicenzo (Vee-chen-zo). and his brothers shortened it down to "Chenzo" and it stuck. Anyway, I have to email him every day, just to say "Hi" which lets him know I am still warm and not room temperature. he responds, but never fails to not to end his answer with, "I love you dad", or a simular phrases.
When he was real young. He loved to ride with me in my 1967 Corvette, He wanted to go for a drive in "the pretty yellow car". I don't remember where it came from but my pet name for him as a toddler was "Cuddles-Wuddels". Stupid I know, but most pet names are.
Any way as he added a few years in age it was shortened to C.W.. We would go for a drive in the Corvette, and I would fake a real Southern accent. let down the windows, make like I had put a flasher to the outside roof and I was some hick Southern Sheriff which was all the rage then (Burt Reynolds and "Smokey and the Bandit"). And make like I was punching out the "Vette" to catch a speeder.
When we get together, Chenzo, still flashes back to his days as C.W. Ain't memories grand?
P.S. I bought the Vette in 67 for $$10k and sold it 10 years later for $10k, so all it cost me was annual inflation, of which I had a lot of fun and memories with.
