the tale of the bayba

I've been debating about posting this for a while.... 

Because it's kind of personal, and probably ultimately embarrassing. 

But seeing as how Christian and I are both fairly loud people

(translation: we couldn't keep this to ourselves even if we wanted to.... in fact I'm pretty sure we say it in public 90% of the time and people probably already think we are... um.... riding the short bus, if you get my drift....)

it's probably better to just let everyone in on the secret.

Here goes.
So Christian and I have these pet names for each other.

Actually it's just one name.

"BAYBA."

Let me explain.

It all started with the innocent name "babe"

And then one day we were laughing at how all the cool 90's love songs used to use the word baby.

But not actually the word "baby".

Oh no.

They too use the ill-fated word "Bayba"

I'm thinking Celine Dion, "It's All Coming Back to Me"

In fact....Just go to 4:29 and watch for yourself.....

(Also can we talk about how priceless this music video is?
Actually no we can't.
There literally aren't words.)

In all its hilariousness, we started using the pet name as a joke.
But as jokes tend to go....
It stuck.

And there you have it.

That is how "Bayba" was born...
and we can't stop calling each other that name to save our lives.
So if you hear it, no we aren't crazy or.... um... riding that short bus....
We just have zero inhibitions.

The end.
