Auntie Tizzle and Uncle Fike - An Explaination...and Dim Sum!

This world is full of Michaels. We happen to know at least 8 of them! But there happens to be a special breed of Michael lurking out there...the Michael James. Because of the endless "my Michael" and "your Michael" that ensued when DT and I tried to talk about our husbands to eachother or anyone else when we were together, both of these Michael James' needed nicknames. Therefore Q and Fike were born. Q I'm quite sure is obvious, Fike maybe not so much. So here's an explaination, convoluted though it might be. The non-Q Michael James is a Fields. So Michael Fields became Fichael Mields...which was then shortened to Fike. There, that should be clear as mud now.

Auntie Tizzle is quite another story. DanThanh (which is her "real" name, though we haven't called her that since High School) and I have known eachother for years. Sometime in early college, she, and everyone at UCLA, decided that DT was just easier and that has stuck. Well, shortly thereafter, there was the "Fo Shizzle" craze....and DTizzle'PhoShizzle was born. Don't ask me why...there is no explaination. Of course, James can't really be expected to conquor that mouthful and so after about .5 seconds of thought, Auntie Tizzle it was!

Now that we have our dysfunctional nicknames explained, here are some pictures from this morning at Dim Sum...the world's greatest breakfast.

Look: Ears! ~Thank you Jason and Karen for the awesomely ridiculous small paul hoodie. :-)
