We said, “yes, Ma’am and no Ma’am And please Ma’am, my oldest son thought her name was Ma’am.

“We said, “yes, Ma’am and no Ma’am And please Ma’am, my oldest son thought her name was Ma’am.”
I thought my name was Sonof and my daddies name was Agun.
Ain’t hard to figure that’un out.
Everyone even slightly older than us was Sir or Ma’am.
No exceptions.
“My grandson says Ma’am and Sir and it is amazing what “preferential treatment he gets even from his college professors.”

Sadly too many people today think so little of themselves that they treat everyone as shabbily as they treat themselves.
