[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very close, but only say "Mom took us ..." to my siblings. Not even to my cousins. [/quote]

This.  I have some friends who just say "Mom" or "Dad" and it always makes me do a double-take.[/quote]

I worked with a woman (she was 26 or 27) who was raised by a single dad - I can't remember why - and would refer to him when talking to us, her COWORKERS, as "Daddy." Skeeved me out. "Daddy is taking me to New York for the long weekend." At first we thought this was a romantic sugar daddy situation so we nominated one coworker to ask. Nope. Her actual father. [/quote]

Well, bless your heart.  That's a regionalism.  It is very common, for example, for people from the South to say "Daddy" instead of Dad, just like some people in the North-East will say "Mummy" instead of Mom.  Try to get out of your tunnel, PP.  It will do you a world of good.[/quote]

Go bless your own heart, PP. The former coworker wasn't from the South. She was from California. NORTHERN California. [/quote]

Oh dear.  You just don't get it.  I bet you hear that a lot.  Oh well.  DP.[/quote]
