Terms of Endearment

"Mommy, why does Kristi call Max Honey? Why doesn't she call him Peanut-Butter?" Sacha asked when he was three.

Some of the terms of endearment in French I don't mind: Mon petit Coeur de sucre (my little sugar heart,) mon Tresor (my treasure,) or ma belle (my beautiful.) But being called ma puce (my little flea) or ma bichette (my little goat) or ma petite crotte (My Little Poop! A very affectionate term, don't you think?) Or mon chou (my cabbage) doesn't ring my bell.

Peanut butter doesn't sound that bad when you think of it. Well, as long as it isn't chunky.

When French Husband was seven, he would hold the chimney broomstick as a microphone and sing "Que Je T'aime" by Johnny Hallyday" (A French Elvis.) He told me, "I loved that song, and I sang it all day. Johnny was screaming his love for a girl…and God, it ripped my heart open every time!"

I would have loved to have met my French Husband when he was seven.

"Ah ma moitie of a peanut butter et miel tartine! (My half of a peanut butter and honey sandwich, in Franglais.) Sing me Que Je T'aime!"

My French Husband calls me: Lupy. I call him "Cherie FM".

My Dad would say, "You can call me anything as long as you don't call me late for dinner."

What are your terms of endearment?

    I always called my wonderful husband, hon. And he sure was one, I miss him every day.
    I have 10 grandchildren, and when they were all young and all at my home they were like bumblees, buzzing busily around.
    So I call them my bumbles to this day, even though the oldest is 25 and the youngest 15.

  4. I call my grandson doodlebug. Darlin’ is also sweet!

  7. My father-in-law used to say the same thing as your dad said. I always thought that was funny.
    For some reason I don’t use many terms of endearment. Maybe I need to change that.

  8. My husband calls me “Boo” and has since early in our marriage. Neither of us can remember how it started.
