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.

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.

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. 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. |
