My sisters 2 year old...

A smack back will deal with the problem. He doesn't understand it hurts, you don't have to punch him in the face (before the anti-smacking people start) but a short sharp tap on his hand to shock him should be enough.

This really isn't the right answer for a 2 year old. A timeout on the doormat or bottom step is more than enough at this age
 
"The modern English word is from Middle English moder, from Old English mōdor, from Proto-Germanic *mōdēr "

So based on that then mOm is more accurate, based of the fact all those words use the o letter, not the u letter.

Familiar or colloquial terms for mother in English are:

Mom and mommy are used in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Philippines, India and parts of the West Midlands including Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

Mum and mummy are used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Hong Kong and Ireland. Charles, Prince of Wales publicly addressed his mother Queen Elizabeth II as "Mummy" on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee.

Ma, mam, and mammy are used in Netherlands, Ireland, the Northern areas of the United Kingdom, and Wales; it is also used in some areas of the United States.
 
The interesting question for me, is why you are so bothered by it, especially as it's not upsetting your mum?

Maybe you should ask her how you acted at that age and how she dealt with it.
