My children identify people by their possessions or other members of their family. I never considered it odd until I realized that no one else does this.
Examples -
Grandpa with the squeaky belt = Father-in-law. He has a squeaky belt on his truck.
Grandma and Grandpa with Eddie = My mom and step-dad. They have a dog named Eddie.
Grandma and Grandpa with motorcycle = My dad and step-mom. They have a Harley.
Bob with flat tired = My brother. His car has flat tires.
Baby Carmen = Bill's cousin. She was pregnant..therefore she WAS the baby.
Cindy with rice = My friend Cindy has a son named BRYCE.
Grape Grandpa with the cows = My grandpa lived by cows. He has since passed away.
Mike with the big brown truck = UPS guy
So I guess their odd behavior may be caused by their parents. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all.

We do that as well.
Grandma and Grandpa with Daisy = my dads parents. they had a dog named Daisy. Grandpa and Daisy are both gone now but Grandma is still grandma with Daisy.
Grandpa with the cows = father in law lives on a farm.
there are lots more of nicknames so you are not weird or maybe we are weird with you.
