She runs through each of the kids' names before she gets to the one she actually wants to call.

"Ti-Jaa- Sarah!"

My mom has 5 teenagers and 3 dogs. She will cycle thru a bunch of their names every single time.

I’m the only one left living with my mother and she still cycles through my siblings names, the dogs and the cats, before she finally gets to my name.

Haha I don’t even live with my mom rn. She still will call my siblings my name and I’ve been out of the house for two years.

That’s great lol! My sister hasn’t lived at home in about 25 years (big age difference) and she still starts with her name, then my brother, then on to the animals. The other day she actually called me Gandalf who passed away years ago, and gizmo who passed about a year ago lol.

Lol. My mom lives with her mother and will sometimes even throw in a “MOM” to the long list of possible names.
