I called my little sister “Snots” growing up, because she always seemed to have a runny nose. It has stuck to this day. And she STILL hates it!

Mom reminded me last night of a nickname my 6th grade teacher, Mr. Page, gave me. He was taking roll the first day of class and started chuckling as he asked something like, “Anybody ever call you Lizard?” I was painfully shy and completely mortified. The name stuck immediately, but I wuickly grew to like it and signed my schoolwork “Lizard” all through high school. At BYU I was back to being Liz again. I keep forgetting about the Lizard years.

People have tried giving me a nickname but none have stuck. Some guys who were super tall used to call me “Big-Al” and I have another friend who’d call me “A-lice” that’s about it. I call Jared “lovey” but I guess I’m the person who nickname’s aren’t my thing.

I’m Mrs. Moo. My husband is Mr. Moo. Both of those can be shortened to plain “moo”. Once in a while, either one of us can be “moinkoo”.
