Did anyone else catch Larry King Live last Friday? I watched it when it re-aired Sunday. I actually had to turn the tv because I felt so embarrassed for him. Larry King you shoulda sat this one out. I didn’t know it was possible to be this dance challenged. Actually this has little to do with lacking dance skills or rhythm…the man can’t follow directions. It’s the left arm not the right Larry!
I have to get my video camera fixed so I can record some of the funny mess that goes on in this house. My daughter and niece crack me up! When they see each other for the first time after being apart all day, they just look at one another and begin laughing hysterically. I’m talking serious giggle fits that go on, and on, and on…
So about the title of this post. You may be saying to yourself, “So what does she call you? Mommy? Mama? Ma?” Nope. She calls me Day-day. Yep! Day-day. At first I thought she was trying to say da-da. Then I thought no she’s not attempting the word daddy, because that word is practically non-existent around here. I refer to her father as baba, and that’s what my niece calls her daddy too. So I’m thinking, maybe its just a sound that all babies make — mama, dada, googoo, gaga. Nope. Day-day means something because it isn’t random. She most often looks straight at me when she says it. Then it hit me. She’s calling me by my name, Dara (pronounced day-ruh, i guess that would be the phonetic spelling). You see, my niece calls me Aunty Day-day, and she says it like a million times a day. So I guess Nia picked up on it. So now I’m day-day to her. Not ma-ma, she rarely uses the word. I’ve heard her say it a few times. Not a big problem. But I’m wondering if I should try to discourage her from calling me day-day. What do you think?
