I call my 6 year old daughter ma'am. Calm your pain.

I call the boys at school sir and the girls ma'am. They just laugh. It's better than calling them what I want to

I call my 6 year old daughter ma'am.

Try that when she is 16. Bet you'll get a different reaction.

Betting I won't. We use ma'am and sir here. She calls me ma'am, too.

Once I called tech support at work for the machine I ran. I had to go through the whole description with someone who was not a native English speaker, and probably was in India. I gave them my name, so they knew I was Sally. For the first 10 minutes of the call, he kept referring to me as "sir." I was in the company lunchroom, as it was quieter than the lab floor.

Finally I told him that I was a ma'am, not a sir. The other people in the lunchroom laughed out loud.

Mosquito(s) in the house.

In your bedroom, when you are trying to sleep

It's mostly a southern thing.

I remember being horrified as a kid when I visited family in Washington State. The other kids called the adults by their first names!
