my baby, for now anyway.
posted by: heathergirl7 @ 9:39 pmToday’s conversation with N….
Me: I love you, baby.
N: I love you to mom. And listen, you can call me baby now but when I’m all grown up, can you not call me baby anymore? Because I won’t be one…
Me: *hmph* Well… I don’t care how old you are, or how grown up you are, you’ll always be my baby…
N: Ok look mom, just don’t embarass me with all that baby stuff. That’s all I’m tryin’ to say, alright?
Me: Okay. So can I call you sugar-booger instead?
N: Mom! I said do not embarrass me. You can’t say things like that in front of my friends at school. Do you understand?
Me: … but… but… you are my baby… and my sugar-booger…..
N: Okay mom, how about if you just call me those thing when it’s just me and you. If I let you do that, will you promise not to embarrass me when I’m a teenager in high school?
Me: *snicker* Why, certainly!

OMG, my son and I had the same conversation! Several years ago, that is. He’s 22 days away from being 18. But wow, when he was somewhere around 6-7, he told me I couldn’t call him ‘Baby’ anymore. Then we agreed on the not-in-front-of-others plan. We came up with an acceptable list of pet names: Sport, Tiger, Champ, etc. Tiger was his favorite.
