Joe was the first one to call me Terri. Actually, he used to say, “Terry and the Pirates.” I liked that name and I decided that I would use it. The nuns and the kids at school called me Teresa. My family called me Sis or Sissy. Once I went to Meyrels Meat Market (not sure of the spelling) to shop for mom. The guy behind the counter said, “What’ll you have, Sis” and I thought he knew my name.! 😂
When someone calls me Teresa, I know it is someone from my grade school years.
