[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's strange when parents call their daughters "sis" or "sister. " [/quote] This one drives me nuts for reasons I can’t put my fingers on. Maybe because sissy became a pejorative? Maybe because they aren’t the parents’ sisters? It also bugs me when spouses refer to their spouse as Mama or Daddy (except when talking to a baby). The only exception is Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof because Burl Ives (or Brian Dennehy) can totally pull that off.[/quote]
