Olivia Calls Veronica What She Wants

Olivia is a very independent spirit. She's been that way for as along as we can remember. She'd rather play with her dolls and dress up in frilly dresses than play with her sisters. And when it comes to Dad, well, she's that sorority girl from college who never gave him the time of day. (That is, until she gets tired and wants him to carry her to bed.)

With that in mind, Olivia has come up with her very own nicknames for her younger sister. Known to everyone else as "Veronica," Olivia took to calling her "Veron" (pronounced VER'-own). Sure, it was cute and all, and we put up with it. But when everyone else started using the "Veron" nickname, Olivia decided it was time to come up with a new one.

So now, Veronica is known by Olivia as "Girder." How do you get "Girder" out of "Veronica" you ask? We do not know. But Olivia uses it and, so far, no one else is picking up on it.

Surprisingly, Veronica responds to it. That may be because Olivia has taken to caring for her little sister since her early days (see picture at left). We'll have to see if that continues as the two get older.
