Shike...Where Did You Get That Name?...

*Here is the story of how my sister, Eva, got her nickname, Shike or Shikey, as told in the words of my oldest sister, Mickey. After that is another piece from Mickey about Shike.

“there were three girls in our family. Joan was the younger one then Eva, the middle one .we all called her shypoke. she messed around when we went somewhere(shypoke) and picked flowers and daydreamed .we went to the woods one time ,with our folks realy looking around and finding things that seemed pretty to us, you know how 4 and 5 year olds are ,a toad , a little rock, a flower,etc. all at once we noticed how quiet it was. every one was gone but us. wow! I was so scared, I started yelling and pulling on her and yelling, come on shy come on shikey more scared, i started dragging her and crying, come on shike! come on shike! well it happened i was dragging her the wrong way. soon mom and dad found us and heard me still crying and pulling eva along by her dress. well from then on the new name stuck. from then on the family used the names of shikey and shike. another little story for our family history
oh!i was the oldest on doing the dragging mickey”



WELL SIS, DAD USED TO CALL YOU HIS LITTLE RADIO TO, BECAUSE YOU NEVER STOPPED TALKING I REMEMBER THAT AND A LOT MORE. IT'S FUNNY---THE OLDER YOU GET THE MORE YOU RECALL. GUESS WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG, YOU DON'T HAVE TIME.*
