One day on a retreat my friend decided that all of her friends needed to have nicknames that were significant. Some people were easy, but she was having some trouble with mine. Nothing seemed to really fit. Then the retreat leader figured it all out for us. He was reading a code of conduct that included a part about "relationships" and how they weren't considered acceptable. Just when he should have gone onto the part about no drugs, he stopped, looked right at me and said, "THAT MEANS YOU HEIDI"
I think my heart actually stopped beating for a second because EVERYONE was looking straight at me. I couldn't believe it! According to my friends, I was so red that I looked like I was going to explode or something. And so, Wild Cherry grew.
Since then, its become a casual joke between all of us when ever I get embarassed or something like that. I don't think the Cherry tree will ever completly die!!
