Why Pickle?

Hello to all you readers! I'm Maria and I'm lucky enough to be your English teacher for the next few months. I've been a teacher for ten years but mostly in Thailand which is an amazing place with the best food in the world. I love Chile too - especially my area nuñoa which is very green and peaceful but with loads of cultural stuff going on too.

I'm really into playing the guitar and have just bought an amp so I can play extra loud to my baby. Oh yes, so why pickle? Well, I call my baby pickle because I don't know if 'it's' a boy or a girl but after the birth I will definitely change that name! Any suggestions?
