You know you are my girl , Beck. Yeah my kids call me mama, most of the time ...lol
Weird the things us southern usa, folks say. My oldest son, used to call me joking when he was 3, mother face mother??? Don't know to this day where he got that. Youngest son, calls me Peach at times he wants to cuddle, he thinks I smell like a peach. My daugher calls me in a sarcasstic tone,,, MO THERRRR!! God she is 9 and has PMS already.
Here are some other names for mothers around here: Mom, mommie, ma's , lots of variations. I have know some that call their mothers My dear, but run it together when it comes out sounding like this, madia, southern drawl there. My motherinlaw's grandmother was called My Minnie, her name was minnie, but everyone called her that.
Grandparents have special names here too: Granddaddy, gramps, grandpa, grandpappy, Pappaw( my kids use this one) , Pop. Poppa. Granny, grandma , nana, nanny, mimi, ma mo, mammaw, so many, my oldest used to call his granny, mammoo....... go figure. But most of these are made up by one of the first of the grandchildren and it sticks, and the rest keep calling them that too. It is precious. I call my kids pappaw , Pappaw half the time too. LOL.
Oh , Tat,,,,,,,,, I bet my kids can beat your kids on antics........hehhehe. Of course they were not funny then but some are now, some still piss me off.
Youngest son, set the couch on fire, peed in the gas heater, it stunk up the whole house, called 911 10 times, also did the closet olympics, tortured the dog, put a dress on the cat, etc, etc.
The worst thing my kids did, was put each other in the dryer and turn it on....... no lie, they were so grounded when they admitted who did what . It scared the living life out of me, i talked to them about what could have happened. They were so sick of me talking for so long, I don't think they will do it again, for fear of the hour lecture. Scarey. Gives me the creeps thinking of it.
I think I am raising pyscho's here.
