I have a first name that is hard for most people to pronounce, especially with a Kentucky accent. So when my sister got pregnant she decided, being the bossy big sister she is, that the kids would call me Kiki. That was 10 years ago, and Kiki just stuck. Leigh is my middle name, and 02 is from my e-mail.


The sound of it can melt my heart. Nowadays, when I hear mom I’m just waiting to be asked for something, and it’s usually money.
