Puschemullfoot
How did Pop spell this term of endearment?
Here are a few samples I found in Mom's treasures...
none of which were spelled correctly or the same way on different dates!

Puttje-mul-fot:Pop's My Happy 1942 Easter Dream
Putje mull foot: Mom's 34th Birthday
Puttze mull foot: A Mother's Day
Puttze mull foot: on the envelope
What does it mean? Why did they use it for each other?

It is "Plattdeutsch" (Pop's native Northern German dialect)
A Puschemulfoot is a sweet and kind of klutzy person...
One who gets in her/his own way and is a bit forgetful.

"Eine Person die auf liebevolle Weise ein bisschen "schusselig" ist. Per
Example ab und zu etwas vergißt, oder sich selbst manchmal im Wege steht."
