Mammy, mammie. A guy came to deliver something on Saturday. I questioned the delivery so he said, “Mammy, this is all they gave me. See here on the delivery paper?”

When I was getting out of a taxi yesterday the driver opened the door for me and he said, “Take your time mammy. Son help your mammy okay.”

Paul said, “We will help her.”

“They will,” I said.

“While we were waking up the stairs Sarah said, “Mom you don’t get upset when anyone call you mammy. Some people get angry when they are called that.”

I said, “I do not get upset because mammy means mother. I do not like to be called babe, babes… that diminishes you.
