"Mother"

This is a small thing, but it has always bothered me that Regan calls Chris "Mother" instead of "Mom," or even "Mama" or "Mommy." Like when she's freaking out on the shaking bed -- "Mother, make it stop, Mother, Mother!" This is a 1970s American girl with a cool, modern movie star mama. She would not be calling her "Mother" as if she were part of a formal British aristocracy in the mid-19th century. That takes me just a little bit out of the film.
