Romantic Nicknames

In Search of a Baby

A dying woman in the hospital desperately asks the nurses to find her baby. She claims that she lost her baby in a nearby mall and she needs to see him before she dies. Touched by the woman's dying wish, the nurses proceed to the mall looking for a baby. They even have it announced through the intercom. They mention the woman's name and ask everyone to look for her baby. After almost a day of searching, no baby is found. When the nurses arrive at the hospital room, the woman has already passed away. A 50-year old man is crying by her bed. The nurses apologize for their failure to find the baby. The man smiles and thanks them for the concern and effort. The nurses ask if he found the baby. The man, then, answers, “Her baby found her.”

So Not Silly

No, the 50-year old man isn't her lost infant. There is no infant. There is just a loving husband whom she called “baby.” Many people find romantic nicknames bit silly. However, these terms of endearment are more than just nicknames people stick to people they love. By adopting a nickname that is special to you and your loved one, you can enhance your love life.
