Hi, my name is Roberto. I am 14 years old and I am from Bolivia. It is common in my family to use affectionate nicknames to replace son or daughter, for example. Sometimes, in the United States, people say pumpkin, peanut, or sweetie when they talk to some members of their families to show affection. I enjoy when my parents and grandparents use an affectionate nickname for son because I know they love me.
