Moon Pie

My brother's favorite book as a child was Just Only John. It was a story about a little boy who turned into whatever the people around called him. His mother called him "Little Lamb," and his father called him "Little Man," and he turned into those things. Of course by the end he became himself, of rather "Just Only John." It's a good story about not being ashamed about being yourself.

This made me think of what my dad calls my cousin. He calls her Moon Pie. I never got the reference. I have never seen them sold anywhere in Wisconsin. Apparently the are round pastry treats. Dad called Emily, Moon Pie, because her face is very round...and edible. This is what Emily would look like if she were in a book called Just Only Emily.
