Any adult male who insists on calling his mother “mommy” is quite likely a mama’s boy. He is easily identified by the euphoric look on his face at the mere mention of her. When he speaks the word “mommy” his voice will remind you of a little boy. When you see this happen, run. He is still tied to his mama’s apron strings.
