call me luca

i'm always making up and calling the kids silly names.  monkey-butt, grasshopper, little bunny rabbit, pumpkin muffin...just to name a few.  there is no significance,  sometimes it's just the first thing i get out of my mouth.  last night i called luca "my little butternut squash".   he stopped and looked at me, put his hands on my face, kissed me, then with great intention said, "call me luca".
