I always have nicknames for the kids.
I used to call my son "Boy" a lot ... one day in exasperation, he told me,
"Mom, my name is NICK. In fact, YOU gave me that name! Please use it!!"
I still call him Boy
Thats so funny! I just recently have been trying to stop calling my son "Boy" and he's 20. First he was Mr. Baby, then Bubba then Boy. Sometimes I still slip and call him Boy!
