In college, I suppose I was just a bit slow to catch on when Bud and his cousin Freddie kept talking about a guy in one of their classes named “Doo Doo Bossier.” I was always hearing, “Doo Doo did so and so.” or “Wait till you hear what Doo Doo did now!”
As I was walking to class one day, I met, Judy, Bud’s cousin’s wife walking with another girl. She introduced us, “This is Becky Bossier. Her brother has a lot of classes with Freddie and Bud.”
I am friendly, if not too smart. “Oh, then you must be Doo Doo Bossier’s sister.”
She made sure I knew her brother’s name was Gerald. We never became friends.
I’ve been called Screwy Lewie since grade four and my old pals still call me that. I used to hate it but they mean it as a term of endearment. I’ll be sad and lonely when there’s no one left to remember that.

What was your nickname at school?

My last name was Swain, so I was always afraid kids would think of hooking me with Swine, but thank God no one did. I got Linda Window, but was grateful it was no worse.

I wonder if he knew before that they were calling him Doo Doo. If he hadn’t caught on maybe he was a bit dense. 😀 — Suzanne

Will you be my friend and go with me everywhere, and please, speak before I do.

Lol! We will both get a reputation of speaking before we think. 🤗 I believe it is the detriment of honest people – they tend to do that – not necessarily to hurt but more because they are spontaneous rather than preempting their response. 😉🌹

Big disconnect between my mouth and my brain. Sometimes I hear something and wonder who said that.

Too funny. But I’m like that – as gullible as a snake bite. I used to think it was because I was innocent and naïve, believing in people. Now I know I was just….gullible. :-0
