REPOST FROM SEPTEMBER:
ReplyDeleteWhy "Aggie" is called that - explained by Mommma...
When Josh's twin brothers or "bubbas" were a little older than he is now, they began assigning names to everyone, including uncles and aunts. Uncle Alex, Dadda's youngest brother, was too difficult to pronounce, but they heard us referring to him frequently as "Aggie" because he was currently in his early years of Texas A&M college, and it stuck (funny to my inlaws because Dadda's two older brothers also went to A&M, but the twins could pronounce versions of Alfie and Chris).
On a side note, the twins later explained their thinking that Aggie got his name based on the shirts he wore - ie A&M T-shirts. Mommma (me) could be called "Aunt Longhorn" by their cousins since I went to UT and Dadda obviously went to the University of Superman!
