He gave me the name Kidhoncho because I oversee a lot of children leaders. But the kids know me by a lot of names because of how I go into character when teaching object lessons. My most common one is Baker Bob and teaching from my kitchen of truth. some of my other names include Gardner Glen, Scientist Sam, Farmer Fred, Builder Ben and Professor Phil. I have a look for each one of these characters that the kids have fun relating to. All the kids know me normally as Pastor Ron. One day teaching at VBS I came as the absent minded Professor Phil and one of the five year old kids on the front roll yells out, "I know that you are not really Professor Phil!" I responded, "I'm not, who am I?" and with out hesitation the child replied, "You're not Professor Phil you're really Baker Bob!" I have found the kids love it when I get into another character. :) I’ve been given a new nickname from my coach, Barney the Kidhelper.

“Reebok” – all the little ones learning to talk can never say Rebekah and always come out as the shoe, totally cute, and I don’t mind

“Tweety” – it’s what my mom always called me and for some reason has just stuck everywhere I’ve gone, and the funny thing I live MILES away from my mom now

“Missy” – my father-in-law is my Pastor, he’s called me “missy” since I married his son and it’s just always been there

It really is a name and not a name and a title as many children believe Pastor is my first name. At the prompting of my Kidology Coach, however, I developed a nickname - The Teknologist. To hear it said, it connotes something of "technology" which I use as extensively as I can in my ministry but it actually comes from the Greek "teknon" which means "child" and is often used to describe disciples. So, in the end, I guess I stole Karl's name. The name that has stuck with me is simply “Pastor Eric.” It really is a name and not a name and a title as many children believe Pastor is my first name.

Yes, you guessed it. My onetime nickname years ago for preschoolers was Captain Shoelace, Defender of the untied shoe! *cue starting music. Here he comes to save the day! (doing a funny little charismatic jig while avoiding throwing out a hip). Captain Shoelace here to tie the untied shoelaces! And that's not all, he flies through the air, he chases balloons, and he teaches the boys and girls to tie their own shoes! *cue end music. *rips open front of button down shirt to reveal and giant S.

The other day, a co-worker called me "Fruit Loop", but I don't think that will stick :-) Our volunteers are collectively called KidServants, but the name that has stuck with me over the years is “Teacher Tim.”

No one calls me that anymore (but it stills fits!). My only nickname now is a shortened version of my real name.(Tam or Tammy shortened from Tamara, which no one can spell or pronouce correctly.) The children call me Mrs. Tammy. Maybe that's my nickname. However it isn't cute or interesting. I couldn't begin to think of a nickname for myself but it is food for thought.

Yeah, maybe. I wrote this post yesterday. http://www.childrensministryonline.com/blog/random/mr-snugglebunny/ Honest, I didn't know anything about Karl's post. Is this a nickname I want to be known for outside of my own family, not really... but it's a nickname none the less. Coincidence? Yeah, maybe.

I myself am called the Kidhelper, because I aspire to help kids to know God, and I happen to think that there are many who help kids, but maybe fewer who really help kids know the Lord. Introducing Kids to Jesus is my passion and I therefore am a real kidhelper! I am trying to help other be real kidhelpers too.
