A childhood belief about family

Once we (my siblings and I) were baby-sitting a very young boy who had just discovered that his parents have "real" names, and that "Mommy" and "Daddy" are more like titles. Sharing his pride at his discovery, we asked him what his Daddy's real name is. He said "Brian." Then we asked him what his Mommy's real name is. He said "Honey." (Her name is Marion.) We thought this was very cute!
