What do your kids call you?
 
Prompted by Flint's post. Papa sounds old-world to me, but I'm guessing it's regional.

My girls call me "Dad" or sometimes "Daddyyyyyyyyyy", if they want something.

Mom and Mama. And the little ones call me Grammy.

I dunno, I'll have to listen more carefully. I prefer they use my first name, but they don't that often, unless they want my attention in a crowd.

Dad, Pops, or coach. actually, 2.0 has taken to calling me George. we don't know anyone named george so it is kind of funny.

I call my Mum by her first name if I'm trying to get her attention in a crowd.
I know it cuts across the noise more effectively, and won't have half the women in earshot turning round.

I call my Dad "Dads" when I'm in a good mood with him.

"My" children call me Mrs Olney.

Mommy and Daddy

Spencer will use Jimbo when he's mocking

Mommy and Daddy. Sometimes he uses "Mom" when he's scripting from a TV show that says that instead. The stepkids use my first name.

I still call both of my parents Mommy and Daddy.

It's not regional, we're being archaic/ethnic on purpose.

Pooka (half Brasilian) speaks several languages, and I always liked how Feivel Mousekewitz called his father "Papa."
