Do you remember the show Family Affair? Buffy, Jody, Uncle Bill, Sissy and Mr. French?
Anyway it aired on television from 1966 to 1971 and I loved it. For some reason I was fascinated with Buffy, at least that’s what my mother said. I would always point to the screen and say Buffy, Buffy, Buffy.
Well, Buffy had her own line of clothing that you could purchase in stores. She was always dressed so nicely on the show….cute dresses, stylish coats with a hat to match. Even Mr. Blackwell would have to give Buffy a thumbs up!
My mother, being the wonderful person she is, decided that she would dress me like Buffy. So, we would go to the store and she would buy a bunch of “Buffy Clothes”. All of the clothes had a tag with Buffy’s picture on it. My mother said I would just light up and say her name over and over again.
I wore so many of her clothes, I began to think I was just like Buffy…minus the penthouse and a butler of course!(smile) So, when I would wear my Buffy outfits I would tell people that I was the Black Buffy. Needless to say my mother would dream of passing out at those moments, but it didn’t stop me. I was convinced that I was Buffy.
I said it so much that my family gave me the nickname “Buffy”. Yep, that’s what they call me when I go home to Pennsylvania. Buffy, Buff, or Buff Renee(renee is my middle name).
So, what interesting nickname do you have and what’s the story behind it. I’d like to know!
Take Care,
