We all know that families can have some pretty strict rules, but one family’s rule against nicknames has led to an unexpected rebellion. Meet Sebastian, who grew up in a household where endearing names were strictly off-limits. His parents never called each other ‘love’ or ‘darling’, and even insisted on being called ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ instead of ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’. But when Sebastian’s little brother, Pietro, came along, he couldn’t help but break the rule, giving him the nickname ‘Pea’. Little did he know, this simple act of affection would cause a family feud.
