Nickname

When I was just a baby
And learning how to talk,
My mommy taught me lots of words
And helped me learn to walk.

Daddy came home to eat each day
So, as mommy cooked our lunch,
She'd sit me in my highchair
With a cookie I could munch.

When daddy came in the door
He'd say to me "Hi, Snookie."
I didn't know what a "Snookie" was,
So, I'd say to him, "Hi, cookie."

This is how my nickname came to be,
Some still call me that today.
Though I'm not a baby anymore
"Cookie" I will always stay.
