Of course, this is a much watered-down situation, but basically it's Sigmund Freud (a psychological theorist) who believed we as humans innately have strong emotional tendencies to his or her parent of the opposite sex (for males, it's called the Oedipus Complex). And then, once paired with the Freudian slip (the subconscious verbal intentions "slipping out".. so what your brain actually means to say), it psychologically makes sense :)
is it normal that i sometimes call my dad babe and my boyfriend dad?
