If Peggy (or Jarvis) were interacting with little Tony and Tony spoke to them they'd hear "I want my mom" but if they were interacting with him and thinking to themselves that Tony wanted his mother they'd think Tony's acting like he wants his mum. Because he said 'mom' not 'mum'and mum and mom actually sound like different words and it's just like when someone mutters a word in another language under their breath, even if "si" means yes or "nyet" means no you still hear it as Si or nyet, your brain just interprets it to be what makes sense to you.
It would completely throw me out of a story if little Tony said "mum" (or Peggy "mom" for that matter) no matter who the narrator was since it's ooc for the speaker.
To me colour/color, favorite/favourite would be different stories since the only difference is spelling, not how they sound.
