I've figured out most other DUisms without having to ask, but I admit defeat on this one. Can anyone fill me in?
Why is Laura Bush referred to as "Pickles"?
I can think of half a dozen funny explanations, but I'd like to see which one matches! I know this isn't a DU-exclusive nickname for her Bushness, but I can't track down the origin!

Thanks for the help! I also found this little video of her reading a book about pickles to a class of kids in the midwest. http://www.cjonline.com/indepth/laurabush/stories/011002_lau_bushpickle.shtml
