Oh my goodness....you totally made me burst into laughter earning me some very weird and unhappy looks in the library! Hahaha! I so totally heart this! *Memories* Thanks so much!

[cmk418]

That makes me really happy. I'm so glad I could make you laugh.

Thank you!

HAHA! Very funny!
I gotta say binky is one that drives me up the wall. But I'm mexican and all the women in my family say "chi-chi" for pacifier which cracks me up for the double meaning of it and I used it accidently at work once (I work w/infants) and my coworkers just looked at me like I was nuts... so I feel for Kaylee.

[cmk418]

LOL. "Chi-chi" - that's a good one. I'm going to have to try that around my baby nephew next time I see him.

Glad you liked this!

Well, there is a brand name of pacifiers called "Binky". And one called "Nuk" (which is a term my aunt uses). My son had 3 Binkys, 2 Nuks, and various other name brands of pacifiers. But this was funny.

[cmk418]

Thank you. I've never heard of a pacifier being called a "Nuk" before (though I have seen that brand as well as Binky). I grew up with "pacifier" and now even my own mother uses the term "Binky".

Well, we usually say "paci" or "pacifier", but I have been known to say "binky" and "nuk". Kind of moot now, though, 'cause my son hasn't used a pacifier in months. (my aunt uses the term nuk incessantly, something about the sound a baby makes while sucking on it)
