I've been switching my daughter with my littlest dog lately. When I tell
the dog to do something, I call her Liv, and when I talk to my daughter, I call her Winky.

Something ain't right. Liv is getting REALLY pissed.

I mean REALLY pissed.

Last year as a joke, on Liv's valentine's day card, I wrote "winky" and crossed it off and put Liv's name... but now... it's really happening.

I'm not quite sure what to do about that.

19. I only have one child
but I do call him with his fathers name when he is behaving like his father would. I think he likes it though, gives him good memories of his dad who I would swear passed right out of this life and into my son..

3. "Antonio, Jose, Marco, Jaime... You, the one I'm looking at!":
That's what my mom does all the time, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

:P

My brothers are all good-looking, but unquestionably straight, I think.

4. At least you're not switching your daughter to Geico!

(ba-dum-bah!)

Seriuously, don't worry about it. My philosophy is that no mater what you do your children will end up in counseling someday. If this is all Liv has to come to terms with, I'd say she's getting off easy. :)

5. Tell your daughter your having data access problems
That when you go the drawer with names on it the wrong ones keep coming out.

You are going to the drawer of names of those you love and sometimes the wrong file pops up.

That is actually what is happening. Its a common mild form of dyslexia. Difficulty when accessing the lexicon.

They both are in the drawer called "loved one that you care for and is dependent on you" Same things happens when old folks remarry they call the new spouse the name of the old one etc.. best to just call them both sweetie! LOL

12. Yes, Winky HATES it when I call her Liv... She pouts for hours...
it's so sad. She crawls under the couch and sulks.

13. It just seems so WRONG to confuse the child with the dog.
Yet, it's so... normal?

16. BTW, loved the valentine's card gag
I'm sure it wasn't as big a hit with your daughter though.

18. It was REALLY funny, because it was so subtle.
It's so much fun to torment the children!
