Don't you guys call her something ridiculous, like "Shirt?"

I know, right? What the heck - this isn't a picture of Lily. But with the abundance of followers I've acquired recently (holla, 4!), I can't keep the charade up any longer. You deserve to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (ok, maybe I should have written this on a day where I didn't spend the morning in a court room).

So here it is:

...We rarely call Lily Mae "Lily Mae." In fact, we rarely call her "Lily." She has a breadth of other nicknames...but by far, the most-oft-used is "Pants."

I know. Things always sound way more ridiculous the more you try to explain them....so I'll just say that there is very little explanation. I feel like animals and babies are nickname-prone anyway, so we quickly went from "Lily Mae" to more ridiculous things like "Liller-face" (due to her seal-like face*)...

(see the resemblance??)
*used mostly by her aunt

and then..."Liller-pants" and then just "Pants." That's really it.

and its hilarious

and we love it.

So, now you can feel awesome and like you're part of Pants' close circle of friends (I equate it with knowing the password at a speakeasy- that kind of cool).

Hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend!
