Irving: You look nice today! Cathy: Thank you, Irving. Irving: You look nice too, Cathy, but I actually meant you. Dad: Me? Irving: Actually...um...I meant the other you...um...her! Cathy: Mom?? Why don't you just call her...oh. You don't know what to call her, do you? Irving: We've been married for six weeks! Of course I know what to call your mother! I just feel sort of silly saying it. I mean, I'm a grown man! It seems so young...so 1950s...so..you know....Fine. I'll try. You look nice today, Mrs. Cleaver!! Mom: Thank you, Eddie! Dad: No need to rush into "Dad", either. Take your time!!
Since my husband was 16 years OLDER than I, he was VERY uncomfortable to call my parents Mom and Dad, as they were closer to HIS age than to mine. He never called them anything until we had kids. Then it was “Grandma and Granddad”. That solved it.
