TheBoy figures it all out
So we're driving to the pool tonight, myself and my mother-in-law and our nephew and TheBoy, when the nephew wonders why the kid calls one of us Mommy and one of us Ima. I explain that I'm Mommy, and Judybat is Ima, but that the funny thing is that Ima actually means mother. So really, we're both Mommy.Nephew: "But who's the daddy?"
Me: "There is no daddy."
TheBoy: "Mommy, mommy! Let me tell you something: Some people have a mommy and a daddy."
Me: "Yes, they do. What do you have?"
TheBoy: "I have two mommies."
I feel a children's book coming on.

Very cool on The Boy's part! What was the nephews' response. I hope he understands?
In my opinion, no more children's books are needed, because the genre has already achieved its zenith.
I LOVE STRONGBAD!!! Thank you, Brian! I had forgotten about Homestar Runner. That said, Miz Anna, what are y'all going to all this blog when your little passenger makes his/her way into the world? "The adventures of ladies and children?" That sounds right awful, so you have to do better than I did. Should you hold a contest to decide? That would be AWESOME. Oh, and please do forgive me for being irritating. I have had like 3 shots of espresso.
A+.
In what various languages does "Ima" mean "mother"? Pronounced "ih mAH", it does in Kapampangan (my mother's home language).
