    Sometimes my kids call me by my first name trying to get a reaction out of me, but I don’t care. That should work. I don’t think “mom” and “dad” are even pronouns, are they? Proper nouns in the direct context (“Hey Dad, how was your day?”) and regular nouns in the common context (“My mom said to tell you hi.”), so I’m not sure this is a thing.
