Ds"Dad"
me "No I'm mum" DS "Mum" "yes mum" DS "NO" Ds "Boobie" Me "No mum" Dad walks in the room. DS "Dad!!!!!!" Okay so why does he like calling me Dad and if I insist I'm mum he changes to calling me boobie. So funny the first time but really Mum or MAma is nice to hear. LOL kids. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Tee hee, Hayden (15mths) doesnt call me Mummy consistently either and Dad is a very definate Dad and always in the right context. He is much like like Jake in his use of Mum, the best one is boats and trucks being very excitedly called MumMumMum, I guess its some kind of flattery as he does it for stuff he really likes lol.
My cousin called my mum Uncle instead of Aunty for years and years, she had other Aunties that she called Aunty XX but my mum was always Uncle Judy, it was like an extra endearment and was incredibly cute!!! Not really the same thing but there you go  -------------

Sam calls every unknown male 'man' too, it's so funny. Oh and any unknown female is 'yady' as he can't say L yet.
Sam likes to go around the supermarket saying 'MUMMY IS A MAN'.
