I only have three kids, but I made the mistake of naming my boys “Joshua” and “Jonah” (no, my daughter’s name does not start with a “J”), which often leads to me calling them by the wrong name. OR — at least that’s what I like to blame name mix-ups on. I mean, I certainly don’t want to blame it on my crappy mom memory, right?
RIGHT! Turns out, it’s totally not my fault, or yours, if you also go through ALL of your kids’ names before you get the right one. Science says moms get their kids’ names confused when they are calling out to one of them for a great reason: love, sweet love.
