Her Dad's from Crumlin (as if it mattered)

Dodge, wow if your child says mum, an exception to every rule ( probably just like yourself ;) or do you get that ?!?! :D ), that was my point. why does everything have to be spelt out for you?
Where did I say I had a child? You making stuff up again? Little Miss Dodge = the girlfriend
No, cos that had a definitive answer, whichever of the two you are referring to.Quote:

Mam, sometimes mum, occasionally ma (which she don't like too much).
Never mom, hate seeing that creeping in here, 'tis but a short step from 'mom' to 'go-to guy in the clutch' and don't say ye weren't warned when that happens.
Well,
I can't bring myself to address my parents directly. I don't call either of them Mam/Mum/Mummy or Dad/Daddy/Da to their faces. If I had to call for them in another room I tend not to, preferring to walk to the room they are in and ask them straight. I think I used to say Mummy and Daddy when I was a kid, but once I stopped using those terms (because I felt them to sound too childish) I never migrated to different words. Its a bit strange and does feel awkward sometimes.
If I had to refer to them in the 3rd person (to the other parent, or to my sisters) I would say "daddy" to my mother, but generally try to avoid the situation when talking to my dad (although "mommy" has crept out on occasion). Talking about them in the 3rd person to other people I would say "my mum" and "my dad". When back in Derry it can slide to "me moller" and "me faller" :p
My (teenage) little sister says "mommy" all the time (no, we're not American), whereas my other sister always says "mum"; both say "daddy". They don't suffer the same qualms as I do. :o
No, I meant they do but to think about them doing it gives me a "mad" feeling.;)Quote:

Any particular reason ?:DQuote:

:D
most of your arguments seem made up ;)
I heard my youngest son call his Dad "daddy" for the first time in 7 yrs yesterday! He always calls him by his name.
I'm confused. Are you referring to yourself in the third person? :confused:Quote:

It makes me proud to see I've inadvertently played a small part in the creation of the new transgender interclub thingyma-jiggy that's currently sweeping all right-thinking football forums.Quote:
