Didn't mean to confuse you Pea..I never called her Mom..not while she was with us..I just called her "Mom", in response to your email.. always thought it was a bit ridiculous that Dad insisted she be called "Mother"..probably cause he had to call Nana Mother?...never did understand that one. I never once heard any of my friends call their Mother, Mother...did you? did anyone in our family, know of anyone calling their Mom, Mother?
I never gave it a thought, Mother, until Maureen asked why we were so "formal". I told her we were lace curtain Irish of nobility. She believed me. She never questioned it again.
