Guests, welcome! Please introduce yourself
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
Mum
"Mum" is mostly just wishful thinking on my part (also, I love that you call it the "proper" spelling - I agree - though most Americans wouldn't know what we were talking about). I should have made a point of making my kids more Anglo when they were young, I guess. They rarely call me "mom" though - I don't like that either. It's usually "mama" - though as they get older, they'll probably switch to "mom" like most of their friends. Sigh.
