[LittleGopher]

I went to the University of Minnesota way back when, and the school mascot is a gopher. So my then boyfriend called me Little Gopher. He became my now husband, and I called him Big Gopher, even though he didn't go to the U of M (makes no sense, but what can I say about young love...) Well, we still continue to use these nicknames 26 years later, despite the eye rollings and giggles of our four gopherettes, and we still hail from the great state of MN. Probably more than you wanted to know!
