Random thought by Sadie the other day...
Sadie: "Mom, when I'm older, like 17, then can I call you and daddy by your names, Courtney & Jori?"
Me: "No, you'll always call us mom & dad."
Sadie: "Why?"
Me: "Cause we'll always be your mom & dad & that's just what you call us; it's more personal, endearing, respectful." (Honestly I couldn't come up with a better answer).
And for once she left it at that. =)

AAAHHH!!! we have that conversation everyday!!!
it drives me crazy because there isn't a really good answer.
the closest I've come is to say that you only ever have one person you can call mommy and if you don't call her mommy then you don't get to call anyone mommy....but by the time I'm done saying all that they are totally confused and just move on!
