I received the following email from my dad detailing where my Squid nickname came from. It seemed appropriate to share here. His words:
"BTW, you got the nickname
Squid from when you were very little and liked to have what you called a
"toughie" with me. You always stood on my chest or stomach or gave me a
"choking problem" by straddling my neck. Those actions coupled
with the fact that I could never seem to keep all of your appendages under
control at the same time led me to saying that you were like fighting a
squid with all of its tentacles."
And the rest is history, as they say. I distinctly remember giving him a "choking problem" by sitting on his trachea (it was one of my favorite games as a kid), I just didn't realize that was where my nickname came from :)
And now, to totally mangle Shakespeare:
What's in a name? That which we call a neurosquid
By any other name would smell as sweet.
