mother may i

mother

so at first i thought it kind of cute
just a funny thing he was saying to make me laugh

now it's the only thing he calls me
i still think it's funny

but

it's kind of embarassing when we're out in public
like when he yells "mother, can we buy poptarts???" at the store
i feel like i should be wearing a long drab skirt, my hair in a bun and have my kids dressed in some sort of amish overalls
