Little Face – This one comes from my dad's childhood.His parents (Poppa and Grammy) were so sickeningly sweet with each other that they had to code their pet names. Sweetie face, Honey face, Angel Face, Lovey face (gross) and every other incarnation got shortened to just “Face”, or at least that’s the story I got at a tender age. Grammy apparently held onto the idea of the covert lovey-ness of it. She tells me "When saw my baby girl for the first time and how little she was" (I actually was not tiny -22 ½ inches) "it wasn’t long until I was calling you Little Face". I love Grammy and the names she gives me.
