Call Me Cam.

I came to the realization last night that I am Cam from Modern Family.  Ok, so I am not a gay man, but everything else is a fit.  Not only am I the plumper, more creative, stay at home, less straight-laced partner in our marriage, but I have no filter.  Did you see the episode when Lily, their preschooler drops the F-bomb and Cam starts giggling uncontrollably?  Mitchell gives him the look.  You know the one that says, you are supposed to be a grownup!

Rest easy… Finn isn’t swearing.  Yes, yes, I know you’re shocked it hasn’t happened yet.  So, what inappropriate behavior has me in giggles as Dave gives me the look? 

We’re back to calling the Davester by his first name.  It went away for a few months, but now it’s back in full effect.  Not only that, but instead of Dave, Finnegan is calling his daddy, David. 

I am sorry.  It is funny.  I’m even laughing as I type this, it’s so ridiculous. 

He does it because he knows that Dave gets bent about it.  He asked me months ago if he could call me Michelle, so I told him he could.  I really don’t care, I call my mom Janet most of the time.  That was the end of that, he knew I didn’t care, so he’s never uttered anything other than Mama.   Dave on the other hand, made a big stink about it and got his little brain working and BAM. 

Instant way to get under David’s Daddy’s skin. 

I am pretty sure my laughing about it doesn’t help, but it’s just so damn funny.  He’s doing it in a completely natural, straight faced way that I find utterly hilarious.

I think Dave finds it a little funny too, but he’s so far into the stern parent role that he can’t go back now.  Oh, no, when Dave commits to something, he commits.  So instead, he has taken to the ignore it and hope it goes away approach. 

Did your kids ever do this?  {Someone PLEASE say I’m not the only one who laughs her ass off when this happens.}  Is there hope that Dave will return to being Daddy again soon?  How would you handle it?
