Hehe... we all have nicknames for eachother in my family. I'm "Bie", Lauren is "Loz" or "Lozenger" or, I used to love calling her "Laurence of Arabia" - she hated that!, Hanna is "Han" or "Hanna Bone" (her middle name is Joan but she couldn't pronounce it when she was little so said bone instead) and Erin is "Ez" or "Ezzy Boo".

Sarah - PMSL @ your sister cracking it for being called Amanda. Kids get really protective about their name at that age! I once pronounced a prep kid's name wrong (his name is Iman - I pronounced it "Ee-marn" but it's actually pronounced "Eye-man"). OMG... he made sure he put me in my place! "No Mrs. M... that's NOT how you say my name! Whyyyyyy do all the teachers get it wrong?". Gosh! If it wasn't for the fact that he told me I was beautiful after that, I wouldn't have been very impressed! hehehe
