BG and Bees

How I got the name BG and Bees

Years ago, one of my new drivers at work introduced himself to me as Howard but said I could call him Yogi since that was his CB handle. I laughed and smarted off and said that my name was Ruth but he could call me Beautiful. From then on, he called me BR.

Jump forward a few years and my first grandson Michael was about 3 and it was apparent that he didn't understand who I was on the phone. He kept confusing me with his mother's mother. So, I was talking to Yogi about it and he came up with BG for Beautiful Grandmother. I tried it on Michael and it stuck. From then on, Michael and Lawrence have always called me BG.

Now jump forward about 6 years or so and along comes Megan at age about 2. She can't pronounce BG so she started calling me Bees. Now this name stuck and Mandy calles me Bees also.

It will be interesting to see how they figure out what my name really is vs. Bees.
