In celebration of my former cooking skills!

My hubby wrote a silly little song to cheer me up when I was laid low and it grew into this amazing animation!

When I was starting the 7th grade in Lamont, OK (a new school-every year a new school) I wanted to make a splash. The teacher asked us all to stand up and introduce ourselves and include nicknames if we had them. Around the room we went taking turns, example: “My name is Christopher but everyone calls me Chip,” etc. When it was my turn, I stood and said my name is Vicki, and then, in my best Mae West impersonation, I added, “ But, they call me Sexy Texie.” Well, definitely all eyes on me! My teacher was so cool. She said, “Is Sexy Texie” what they called you at your last school?” “No,” I admitted, burning with embarrassment. She said, “Is Sexy Texie what your family calls you at home?” “No,” I mumbled, ready to fall through the floor. She said, “Alright, then. We’ll just call you Vicki.” I sank down in my seat, grateful that she went on to the next person. I was so humiliated. I couldn’t believe how wrong my big splash had gone. Then, at recess, I was amazed when my classmates embraced me for my boldness. And that is how I became the go-to gal at Lamont Jr. High for questions about sex. (Which I knew nothing about.)

Enjoy it! It has a cameo of Obama, is 2 minutes long, and lots of fun! IGNORE THE WARNING THAT IT CAN'T BE PLAYED!!! (Hubby set it up so it can't be embedded anywhere) I just tested it and it plays just fine.

Great story about your hoped-for nickname. And what a thoughtful -- and talented -- husband you have!
