My Nickname

By Lacie

My nickname in softball was yoyo. I was called yoyo because at least once every practice the ball would fall out of my hand on the wind up. Carlie made it up and then the other girls started to call me that too. I liked that nickname because it was different and there wasn't anything bad about it.

My other nickname was strike which my mom made up. I was named this because toward the end of the year my accuracy started to get better. I liked this one because it meant that I was getting better and plus, it sounded cool whenever someone said it. We all made up nicknames for ourselves like mine and Kayla's was pickles because she would always get in pickles during softball. We were all eventually named but it was hard to keep track of everybody's nicknames.

I've been pretty luck with nicknames. So far, or at least in softball, I haven't had any nicknames that I haven't liked. I liked all my nicknames because they were brand new and no one else had ever been called that before. My favorite was yoyo because that one was ever called that before me. I loved the nicknames I was given.
