We all had them. My mother, being Japanese was a strict mother. She didn't make for good conversation, and she rarely talked to me other than to criticize me and call me "baka" or "bakayaro" or just "namakemon". My Dad, being more gregarious often spoke to me a lot and called me "mongoose" because i was i was a pretty good fighter, thanks to years of martial arts programs and excercising. What kind of nicknames did your parents have for you?
