Question about your maternal parent! |
|
The woman who bore you (or adopted you, or whatever!)--what do you call her?
There are likely as many nicknames for her as there are people, but there are some standard ones:
Mom Mommy Mama Ma Mother Momma Mummy Mum Mammy
and probably a dozen that I can't think of right now.
I call my mother "Ma." What do you call yours?

6. Coworkers, students, and republicans... |

That's what I call women who bore me.
(Mom is never boring, however.)

And I don't visit her grave and won't. Too bad my wonderful Dad and Stepmother will be buried in the same family plot as her someday. I won't be able to avoid her grave then.

11. Mom, but Mom called her Mom Mother and my grandpa was always called father, |
|
Very formal, and very poor, they were.

Even though I'm in my 60's, and she's nearly 90......
It just feels right to me!

13. Mostly, I call her Mom. But sometimes, it's Momma Bear, or Ma. |
|
Just depends on the mood at the time.
