Nicknames

My mom likes to give nicknames to people who's names she can't remember. This obviously doesn't include her close friends but it does include people who have more of an acquaintance status. She refers to them solely by their nicknames allowing situations like this to happen:

*conversation about property taxes*

Mom's Friend:  I heard that they are going to lower property taxes in general

Mom: No No, I heard the opposite

Mom's Friend: From whom?

Mom: The Panda told me

Mom's Friend : *WTF Face*

Me: *Face Palm*

Mom: Oh come on you know who I'm talking about ..... THE PANDA!!!!!

Living in Style with Oscar De Le Renta!

So this one happened a while ago, and I shared it on Facebook but not my blog.

Mom: *on the phone with a friend* Yeah I bought two pairs of pajamas in Costco for only $17, and they are Oscar de la Renta!

ME:*overhears and gets excited*OMG OMG we own something from Oscar de la Renta?!?!?! That's so exciting!!! Too bad its not a dress 

Mom: *ends phone convo, turns to me* We can't afford an Oscar de la Renta dress, we will settle for pajamas.

ME: Isn't the Russian philosophy that "the point of wearing brand names is that other people know you wear them". No one sees what brand your pajama is....

Mom: Don't worry I'll tell them 

LOL
