No worries Sarah! I just found it funny that I've never realised I do it and now I'm wondering why I do, and also the fact that most people use mummy and daddy with young children mum and dad!! I know what you mean about people teaching them things you don't like though. It's so frustrating isn't it? Can you say something to them or try a subtle" Oh we saw a HORSE today - Zander can you say HORSE!" I guess all you can do is be consistent with what you teach him and hopefully he will get the message.
