Solara: Mama!
Me:
Solara: Mama!
Me: It’s Liz.
Solara: Mama!
Me: Liz.
Solara: Mama!
Me: Solara, can you say “lih”?
Solara: Lih
Me: Now can you say “zzzz”?
Solara: zzzz
Me: Now say Lihzzzzz.
Solara: Nn nn. Mama!
Me: 😑
Solara: Mama!
Me: What? 🤗
Solara: Hi! 🤣
Aftermath
Solara: Memaw!
Me: I’m not Memaw, I’m Mama.
Me: No — I’m Liz. Man, child. You’ve got me confused now. It’s too late for this.
Starting a new thing to where I take conversations out of context. They’re like bite-sized peeks into my life.
Solara and I are cousins, I’m constantly trying to get her to say some variation of my name, and yet she still calls me “Mama”.
It’s weird because I don’t have kids and honestly thought my future adopted child would be the first to call me any variation of maternal affection, but here we are. 🤷

Solara is so cute with calling you mama, haha. I mean she sees you as a mother-like figure, so embrace it while she still calls you mama. I am still waiting for my coworker’s daughter to call me auntie. Kids are the cutest.
Jane
Yes. 😅 Today I tried something similar, i.e.
Me: Can you say “lih”?
Her: Lih
Me: “zzzz”?
Her: zzzz
Me: Lihzzzz
Her: Mama!
I kinda just accept it now. I read on some places that it’s good for her development, means she feels loved, and is being well-nurtured — it’s just taking a bit to get used to. 😅 Charlise has been pimping me out to other people in our neighborhood Facebook group, saying that I’m like her daughter’s second mama, which apparently instills trust. 🤷♀️
Plus…she’s just too cute, lol.
