Nicknames

My Grandpa Tooley gave me the nicknames that I remember.  I was born towards the end of the big radio show period.  My grandpa used to call me "Snooks."  It was after a character on the "Bickersons" radio show, Baby Snooks.  He called me that even after I was married.  If he called me "Paula," it was usually because I was in trouble.  He was usually the only one who used nicknames.  I liked them.

The other nickname I remember was "Doodle-bug."  That was what they called the little "pill" bugs that we found in the garden.  If you touched them, they would curl up into a ball.
