Becca is slowly moving away from calling me “Dee”, though she has modified the plain “Dee” to “Dee-ka”, using the Thai particle appropriate for use by a female. In it place, she is starting to use “Dad”.
Very cute is when she uses the long reproachful version – “Daaaaad” – as though she were a sixteen-year-old and in some disastrous attempt to be cool, I said something like “Wow, groovy” in front of her friends.
I imagine I will be hearing that tone a lot as the years go by.
