What's in a Name?

This morning, while listening to KDUV, I heard Dale's concern about tripping up with his son's name. Dale, don't be so hard on yourself, I do the same thing with my daughter sometimes. It will only get worse. Growing up it was the same thing, my grandma would call me my mom's name, then my aunt's name... eventually getting down to mine. It was fine, and now funny. think of it as giving a fun memory and adding to the list of things they will raz you about.

Don't be so hard on yourself, parenting is a learning experience, and I think they grade on a curve.

Hi Shelley, this is Trina from the porterville team, I just want to say thank you for your kind words. I hope you are doing good today and your story I just read was funny it reminded me of how I am with my kids I sometimes call them by each other names, but may I say they are a boy and a girl, and my daughter will tell me mama that's not my name and I like to tell her oh you know your name . My daughter and I are very close we work together every Tuesday night at our job. We love it lots. Well take care Trina and good luck on the competion.
