Pixie Kobichenko Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) All this k3rd person referencings of oneself on the forum in the past day is frankly a bit weird. But- it reminded me of the episode of Seinfeld The Jimmy which culminates in Kramer being a guest of honor at an event for Mel Tormé.

Coming from a wife or an employee or really in any other way, it gets goofy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from a wife or an employee or really in any other way, it gets goofy.. I don't think my parents ever spoke in third person to me as a child. They did use "baby talk" though, but not quite like I've heard it from other parents. Even when I moved back home after my divorce, if one of us did something incredibly stupid, we might be greeted with the soothing coo of something like "Oooh, do that again Sweetie, so I can feel ever so very superior". My emergency backup kid recently sent me a video of his landlord's huge old golden retriever, backing up to him and sitting on his feet. Mac gently scritched the dogs head while cooing out insult after insult, all lovingly critiquing the dog's odd but adorable behavior. The dog loved every minute of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always, around children, it was baby-talk in the 3rd person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always, around children, it was baby-talk in the 3rd person. I did it with my boys when they were little, like if they were not feeling well or if they got hurt, or when they would act spoiled.. They really hated when I did it when they acted spoiled..Because i would treat them younger than they were and they hated that.. I still will sometimes when they get to complaining about certain things.. Complaining don't get them very far at all with me or their father.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Voxel Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Anybody remember that Quantum Leap episode when Sam leaps into a special needs character named Jimmy and he has to get electro-shocked to become himself again?
