"Muthah" and the little princess
My sister Jaime came for an overnight visit last week, bringing her two youngest children: Ross (4½) and Kara (2½).
Jaime’s three boys all call her “Mom” or “Mommy” or even “Mama,” but wee Kara addresses her as “Muthah,” with a distinctive British accent.
When this first started, Jaime was a bit annoyed and would correct Kara, “Mommy.” But Kara persisted. Finally one day Jaime’s husband Lynn suggested the probable source of her pronunciation: princess movies.
Ahhhhh – thank you, Disney.
