I am so glad you and your D had a little moment there.
I have 10,000 little terms of endearment for my D7 and one of them is "pumpkin pie". It's great because let's face it, pumpkin pie is 10,000 times better than just "pumpkin".
She's also my poodle-pie, schmoodle, cookie face and freckle bug.
I'm grateful she allows me to call her all of these things because I know it's only a matter of time before she says, "mooooooom! Stop calling me that!"
