Search Results: cooking for a friend

Let me explain, everyone addresses their parents as “mom is cooking dinner.” “Where’s dad?”

But, our family.

We siblings say; “where’s your mom?” “What’s your dad doing?” “Where’s your mom and dad going?” “Who’s on the phone? Your dad, he says he loves you.” All of us speak to each other like this, when addressing our parents.

That a lot of strangers or friends found it weird when they hear us talking like this.

or we say: “hey mom, whatcha doin?” “Cooking dinner.” “Oh okay, where’s my dad?”
“Hey Papi.” “Huh?” What’s going on?” “I’m shoveling the snow.” “Oh okay, what’s my mom doing?”

It just makes MORE sense talking like this. We don’t say “mom and dad” just like that. Sounds weird.

The way I pronounced these examples ☝🏻. Is it weird or not?
