Sweetness is Sweets, Little Miss, or sometimes Porky Pig (she's a bit on the chunky side). Tessa is Tesser, Tessa Marie, Sweet Thing, or Miss Ditka.

Lately I've been singing them Chantilly Lace by the Big Bopper - Tessa's huge brown eyes reminded me of one of the lines in the song:

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby that's what I like

I almost forgot - one of my friends refers to Sweetness and Tessa together as "Tetness" - Te from Tessa and tness from Sweetness. Love the looks from people when I refer to the girls as Tetanus!
