Brad has found a way to unnerve me lately… he has started calling me “Angie” instead of “Mom.” I know that’s my name and it is not really a big deal, BUT there is just something about the way he says it that bothers me. He uses the same tone that my husband uses when he calls me Angela.

I calmly remind him that I’m “Mom” to him, but it seems to go in one ear and out the other.

A few years back he called me “Mother” all the time and I hated that, too. It took a VERY long time for him to stop. Maybe he’ll get it out of his system quicker this time and I’ll be “Mom” again by Christmas!!!

I hope…
