[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never, ever forgive my mother for laughing at me (aged maybe 10-12) when I said epitome as epi-tome instead of eh-PIT-toe-mee. She tried to backpedal, saying it was an indication that I was a reader, and that's a good thing... but she [i]laughed at me[/i]. [/quote] Gosh, you're thin-skinned! I can see being a little hurt at the time, but to harp on it to this day?! I used to work at Panera like 25 years ago, and the word that always tripped people up was "bisque." So many people pronounced it "bis-kay."[/quote] I think parental mocking sometimes sneaks into your subconscious in a way it never would from a peer or sibling or stranger. When I was 12 I told my mom I wanted to live on the lower east side of New York as an adult and she locked me for it ("you don't even know what that is!") and I never forgot it. She made me feel so small and stupid.[/quote] *Mocked, not locked[/quote]
