What is a Mesa you might ask? Well according to McKinley it would be me.
When McKinley was born I would sit around for hours thinking about what she would call me because Meredith is not the easiest word to say as a 12 month old. I thought of Aunt M but it sounded to much like The Wizard of Oz. Well, maybe she can call me Mer or Mer-Mer because that is what Morgan called me when we were little.
WRONG! Out of the blue on day she looked at me and said "Mesa". I looked puzzled. I pointed to my mom and she said "MeMe", pointed to Morgan and she said "Mama" pointed to me and she said "Mesa". I was not happy. Why in the hell is this little creature calling me Mesa? What is a Mesa anyway and where did she come up with this word?
I tried to change what she called me but she was not having it. It started to grow on me. Over the past few months she has started saying Mer or Meredith and I say that is not my name McKinley. My name is Mesa! :)
Do any of you have a "nickname" from a child, family or friends?

For a long time I was Aunt Tacy... my nephew could not say the S in Stacy. He could say Susie, but not Stacy! Eventually he got it, I was a little sad...being Aunt Tacy was fun. My niece isn't calling me anything...yet. :)
