Birth Of A Name Phrase

(My extended family is going out for dinner together, a rather rare occurrence. Unfortunately I have to be at work. While they are at the restaurant, my older sister is texting me.)

Sister: “I just used the phrase ‘pulled a [My Name].'”

Me: “Oh, no. What does it mean?”

Sister: “[Niece] dove under the table when the waiters came out singing for someone’s birthday.”

(On my fifth birthday, we went to a different restaurant where they sing and clap for children’s birthdays. When they came marching toward our table I dove under it AND under my mother’s skirt. Family never lets you forget those things.)
