Hypothetically, I've been spending a great deal of time with a young man named Hassan. Hassan is hypothetically Moroccan, which means he learned several languages in childhood and in school (Arabic, French, Berber). He's hypothetically picked up a good deal of German and quite a lot of English along the way in his hypothetical adulthood. Now, this mix of languages makes for a hypothetically interesting accent when one speaks English as a fifth language.Since Hassan is hyptothetically a boyfriend-type figure, he... as endeared ones often do... has deferred to using hypothetical pet names. So, he will, hypothetically, greet me by saying, "Hello, bobby." This is hypothetically meant to be, "Hello, baby." I... one very unhypothetical shannon who doesn't much care for pet names and ubercuteness... have hypothetically refrained from correcting him.
It's much more amusing to me to be called Bobby. I mean, who needs to be called "baby" 10 times a day... ...hypothetically?

You tell Hassan he is very good looking, but he better be careful calling "my bobby" bobby.....you know who..
hypothetically...being a "bobby" is much better than being a "baby"...
are you sure it's not a secret petname? "bobby" does mean something different in England and knowing your penchant for acting and dress up...I can't help but wonder *wink*
