A few weeks ago week Flynn and Miss Megan wanted to know why I call Mum, Mum. Well, when I first got here I called her The Lady. Then after I was here a while, I started calling her Mum, cuz Derby called her Mum.
Why did Derby call her Mum? She wasn't a man, so not a human, but a hu-mum! You have to go back to Derby's first ever blog post here, to read about it.
No mum is not English, British, Aussie or Kiwi, she just prefers the Mum to Mom. Kinder, gentle name.
Also Miss Megan said not to worry about the overgrown garden and weeds as we would soon have snow! YIKES LADY! Snow should not be here for at least two months, if not longer. Sheesh, don't wish that white stuff on us any early than we have to.
For mum, it should snow lightly, over night only, only on the grass, not the roads, for the days up to Christmouse so there is a white Christmouse. Then it can warm up and melt and be good driving. BUT, cold enough at the ski place so kids and people who like to break legs and try to do that.
Mum has not figured out my hidey spot from Sunday, but I have being nice to her and showing up at the door when she comes home from day hunting. Got to keep her guessing!
I call my human my human because that is what Sparkle did - and she said that is what she is in her notes!
ReplyDeleteI call the human all kinds of things, but Mum when I want petting! But she is English!! MOL I agree, Mum is nice :)
ReplyDeleteWe call Claire Mum or our human or Claire, because she's all that ! Purrs

Thank you very much for the explanations, Ducky. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAs for the garden - I was trying to think of a positive for your mum so that she didn't concern herself too much about the garden. Sorry - I didn't mean to bring down the snow on you any earlier! LOL

We hope for your sake that the snow doesn't show up too soon. Once it shows up, it doesn't exactly go again in a hurry for you, does it?
ReplyDeleteThank you for explaining Ducky. My mum agrees that mum sounds gentler than mom.
ReplyDeleteFunny, our mom used to call her Mum...Mum.
ReplyDeleteWhen we first started blogging we would see "Mom",
so we just did what everyone else did.
We call her mum though ;)
Sometimes we call humans "beans" because they are human "beans" . hahaha
We are not looking forward to the return of snow :/
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
We call our humans mama and papa. Also Buster doesn't meow; his sounds like maaaaaa
ReplyDeleteEmma and Buster
We like it when other beans are called mum because we call our mom mom, well actually we just call her mom and we'd probably get more confused if there was more moms and less mums. We think.
ReplyDeleteKeep her guessing Ducky!
Sasha, Sami, & Saku
Well, you explaining about "mum" explains why we keep thinking you are in England... MOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling us why you call your mum "mum." We sure hope the snow stays away for a long time. We're not ready for it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to greet her when she gets home, Ducky!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that nice explanation, Ducky. We had wondered about that too.
ReplyDeletePurrs,

Hoping our winter won't be too brutal this year! We want your mum to be able to get to her day job safely.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes call her Mummy.
