The amount of times my mother has called me so many different names! Haha! Love this!
So relatable! I am giggling writing this. My mom would go through all the names, and I lived with four of my cousins for a time. Then we got a dog. All the names ending in "ie" or "y." Seven total. So many jokes, so many laughing fits. A worthy entry!
hahhaha....so true! Well done, Cathy! Another great piece!
So relatable and funny 😆
Running through them all until you get the right one. Imagine if there were identical twins!
Hahaha, I call all of my nieces and nephews(Darling)😆lol…
Hehe, my dad still sometimes calls me RobErickSarah.
😅🤣 good one! Quite common I imagine.
So true!😊
Prayers for mom life.
My grandma (Dad’s mom) has 5 children who gave her 9 grandchildren in total. Out of those 9, 7 of our names starts with a D. So yea, we always get our names mixed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So beautifully written!
Well done, my friend!!!
Great work Cathy!!!
Lol love it. My mom just called us number one and number two. Or sometimes thing one and two 🤣😂 and of course there were the many times where she said all the dog names and cat names and our names and then gave up and would scream, “oh whoever you are!” And my gramma gave up trying to remember her three girls names and just called them all “Donfonsu” (Danielle, Fontaine, Susanne) 😂
Yeah, I can relate to this.
Haha! Throw the dog’s name in there too! 😂
Love it hahaha 🤣🤣My mom did that but included the names of all of our pets too
😅. My grandma would call us the wrong names all the time. She would actually start spitting out names until she got it right...This was a fun take and so true. Also, I Loved the subtitle, lol.
This sounds a lot like my mom says to us kids 😂
