Say my name!

Two unrelated facts:
1- I am quite pregnant.
2- My name is Billie.

Shocker, I know.

But, it has started to mess with my mind. Several times, I have walked into a room or up to a friend and been greeted by a very nice, "Hi, Belly!"

See, the problem is that my name is Billie. But I don't hear Billie when people say my name. I hear "Belly." This happens all the time. So, if you greet me by name and I look at you crossways, don't take it personal. I think you just called me "Belly."
