I am not sure when it happened; right after giving birth? Probably. Something switched in my brain upon becoming a mother that made it okay to refer to myself in the third person. Never in my life have I done this in any other way. Here is an example, Jessica thinks speaking in third person is so creepy. See even that was hideous.  A friend from High School had a boyfriend that would speak like that. It just made me want to send him to therapy for some disorder or at the very least send him away from my friend.

So now that I am a Mommy I speak in the third person everyday. Oh, I just shuttered a little as I was typing it. “Mommy is so proud of you”; “Mommy said NO!”; “Come give Mommy a kiss”. Now at least ‘Mommy’ is a title as well as my new name so it may not be such a heinous crime but it still crosses my mind now and again.

I will most likely continue this way of speaking for a long time. I just thought this Mommy talk issue needed to be addressed.

Jessica thanks you for reading her blog post.
