From his very first day, August had a nickname. He was sitting in his little bassinet, I looked at him and said, "monkey monkey moon!" Poor kid's been saddled with the nickname Monkey Moon ever since. It's Monkey Moon this and Moon Monkey that, and "oh, yes, Monkies Moon all enjoy a nice nap & nibble".
Other nicknames August has "enjoyed" thus far:
- Growler Bear
- Moon Bear
- August Bear
- Augs Monster
- Fuss Monster
- Fussmaster General
- The Little Emperor [i.e. Augustus]
Basically, any combination of (or riff on) the words monkey, moon, or bear—or any of the above—can be used to form a handy, instant nickname.
- Moon Bear
- Moon Pie
- Monkey Bear
- Growl Monster
- etc.
There will be hundreds more little nicknames in the coming years. I promise not to enumerate them all. Just know that they exist, and that they are sometimes cute.
UpdateI forgot:
- Boob Muncher
- Young Sir
- Monkey Pot Pie
