My oldest son now calls me "My lady" pronounced malady pretty consistently, and I don't know how to make it stop.
I'll wake up in the morning and say, "Hi, son.
"Hello, Malady." I'll ask him if he wants chicken nuggets for dinner: "Yes, Malady." I'll ask him if he showered: "No, Malady." Just now, he did a dance where he said, "Good morning, malady. Good morning, malady. Good morning, malady."
How do I make it stop? Has anyone else dealt with this or anything similar? I am starting to contemplate just embracing it and getting a tattoo on my left bicep that says "Malady."
Please help!
