There is one person in this world who is allowed to call me “Mommy.”
Hint: It’s not my husband. Because…ew. Nor is it the PR flackies who keeps sending me bizarre email pitches addressed to Mommy. My name is Tanis. And if you don’t want to use that one, I’ll accept Tsarina T.
The only person who could get away with calling me Mommy is, ironically, the only person who can’t. And he gets a free pass because dammit, he’s cute.
I wrote a post about how my kid called me Mommy and how I had to resist the urge to laugh and/or shank him afterwards. Click here to read it. You know you want to.
Kids. They are totally weird. I mean, really, calling their mother ‘mommy’? Who would have thunk it?
Also, I just really wanted to use this as an excuse to post this short clip of Jumbster on the net so you all could see how the quiet awesome radiates out of him.
Tsar Knox. He will one day rule the world.

I hate it when strangers refer to me as a “mommy”! Or a “mommy blogger,” or a “stay-at-home mommy.” Do you call a man a “cutsie little banker” or a “widdle construction worker dumpkins”? No. Please respect my profession! Mother is fine. Mom will do for short. But unless I pushed you out of my hoo-ha, there is no reason for you to call me “mommy.”
Incidentally, my two-year-old doesn’t even call me Mommy. He calls me Mama. I’m cool with that.

Oh, yeah, there is an abundance of cuteness there. Tanis, did you ever notice that he and Max kinda look alike? They do. Great hair, smile…something.
To Max, I am “ahmmy.” That word is a miracle to me, and I don’t use the word “miracle” lightly.
