On Fri, 26 Mar 2004 13:31:08 -0600, "Karen"
yodeled: "David Stevenson" wrote in message ... Karen wrote Yup. We call our "Mums" "Mom" or sometimes when younger "Mama" (though my siblings and I held on to that one for a long time actually.) "Mother" is generally held for referral use only OR when aggravated by said parent. "Mums" and "Mama" sound fine to me. Now here is the real question. How do you spell Mama? I have seen so many variations over the years. Momma is how we spelled it growing up, but there is also mama and mamma. Karen Also, do you promounce it MAma, with the stress on the first syllable (down home- like) or MaMA, with the stress on the second (upper clahss-like).
