nicknames...

[skcin]

Husband calls me hun (as in honey, not as in Attilla )

Dad calls me Paulie, but with his heavy accent it sounds kind of like Pwooley. Mom calls me Paul.

A couple of people at work call me Paula Jean. I don't know why & neither do they. It just stuck. Some call me P.

I got "hey, Paula Abdul!" a lot in high school. You know, back when she had a music career & was coherent.

Back in high school, I called a friend on the phone & her dad answered. I left a message for her to call me, but he misheard & thought I said Carla. Around the same time, my other friend decided that since I was part Polish (she is too) that I should have a -ski at the end of my name. So I became Carla Zlatski & to her, that's still my name.
