Family phrases

"Kooks" (or Kooksie) - the name my sister has called me for the past 4 years or so. We both have no idea where the name came from, but it stuck. Now the only people who call me that are my sister and her boyfriend, Clay. I guess you could say he's part of the family now that he is allowed to use the nickname.

"Marco... Polo" - When my family goes Christmas tree hunting, we divide and conquer. The only problem is that when someone finds a good tree they are nowhere near the rest of us. So we've adopted the use of "marco.. polo" to find each other.
