Everyone always questions me when I call my parents by their firsts names. I don't know when it started but here are my thoughts on why:
- When I was little my dad called his dad Raymond, so I just thought when you became an adult, you called your parents by their first name.
- My mom's name is Brenda Kay, and 'Hey, Brenda Kay!' had a nice little rhyme to it.
- When you say Mom or Dad either 20 parents turn and look at you or no parents turn to look at you, so using their given name was more efficient.
- All my friends call my dad Ronnie, or Captain Ron... so it just stuck.
Whatever the name... Happy Father's Day to one heck of a dad who probably gives the best advice out there. If you've never had a talkin' to from Ronnie, you just ain't livin' right. Love you Dad.
