So I call my children Chickens. It is VERY helpful when out in public, at a store, park, or just out and about. Nobody says "hey chickens" so when I say those words four little heads pop up and away we go. No shouting out four names. No getting confused as to who your children are. No having to remember your children's names. Just simply shout "alright chickens." or "hey chickens" or even "come on chickens" and they all come running. It really is a great tool, and my chickens er children respond every time, that is until last week.
I was getting ready to leave the house and not wanting to follow in the Anderson tradition of "3 minute warning" "2 minute warning" "1 minute warning" 30 second Warning" I shouted out "come on chickens" and 1, then 2, then 3 chickens er I mean children came running. I waited, and waited, and then shouted "Rebekah Grace I need you to come right now" she then came around the corner and said to me. "Mommy. I thought I was a Rebekah. I thought I was NOT a chicken." So clearly my youngest chicken is slightly confused.

Clearly you have more important things to clutter your memory banks with than something like, say...YOUR CHILDREN'S NAMES!
I am SOOO glad you understand Heidi. :)
Try muffins, it works well - like we decided, the Raspberry Dazzle, Blueberry, Strawberry and to-be-determined! ;)
