On our recent vacation I was in charge of the map. (Yeah, I said map. We have a Garmin, but I like to go "old school" with a paper map and highlighter pen.) I was so excited when I announced, "I'm the navigator!" Only to have my hilarious son say, "Don't you mean 'navi-guesser'?" Ha-ha. Very funny.
I have also been called the "Mommy-saurus" due to the not-so-quiet way that I
The next name is the worst. It's also NOT true. I don't even know when it first started but I am sure it stemmed from a time long ago, when I said such ridiculous things as:
"You may not have a gun, knife, or pet snake."
"I am not buying that!"
"Wear your helmet."
The name that my son and husband call me is . . . Fun Ruiner.
Unless, of course, they want something. Then my son calls me "Mother" and my husband calls me "Baby".

Navi-guesser? That is so funny!!!!!
But seriously? Map and highlighter?
Very funny! Those names are actually pretty clever. I love the navi-guesser one! I was called many many things, to include buzz-kill (absolutely Not true, by the way) and Mommy Dearest (again Not true. I never ever used a hanger on my kid.) My older son was 8 at the time and had overheard the Mommy Dearest term while I was talking to my girlfriend on the phone about the movie. Suffice to say, He only called me that Once.
And yes, he's still alive. LOL
I am geographically challenged when it comes to maps. So I feel ya. I also think I'm guilty of stomping around sometimes!
;-)
Ha! My husband calls me big foot by the way I stomp on the floors...I can't help it dang it!!
Around here my DW is known as The Warden....Of course only when I don't want anything also.
I have to admit, I chuckled, my mom plugs in an address in her GPS and then she prints directions on googlemaps. She doesn't trust her GPS. Now I have to tell her someone else likes paper too LOL
