Thanks mom

By mistake - 11/05/2009 09:09 - United States

Today, I realized what my mom has been calling me for 20 years. She always calls me her "little fehler." With her being from Germany, I always thought it was a cute little nickname. Apparently, she's been calling me her "little mistake." FML

Wow, that must suck. Did you ask her about it yet?

haha interesting choice of a nickname. that is messed up that she called you that but never told you what it meant.

If it took you 20 years to figure out what it meant, aside from showing a lack of inquisitive nature, it shows that it was definitely in jest. If you didn't know you were being called a mistake, clearly she didn't treat you like one. Plus, it means your mother has a good sense of humor.

I was an accident baby, too! I really don't have a problem with that. I think your mum's cute and clever. :) Don't worry about it, sugar. She's your mom; I promise she loves you to bits.

Are you sure she wasn't saying "Feller" or "fella" or something? :P

She doesn't mean it in a bad way... you may have been a mistake but obviously since she uses it affectionately she's really happy and thankful for you. I think it's cute too.

It sounds like she was saying it affectionately. Still, it's funny that it took you twenty long years to realise.

YOU GOT IT WRONG - she's calling yuo little fella/fellah - fella/h is a guy/male. Running on from this, you could name your Johnson your little fella/h too.........

I agree with #6. "Mean" nicknames are cute as long as the intentions behind them are good. My family called my little sister Crash for years because she was always running around the house and smashing into things (the best was when she grew to be the same height as the dinner table and her forehead got in the way when she tried to run underneath).
