[QUOTE="DDD, post: 493829, member: 35"] I'm glad he has settled well. That makes it so much easier for the parents...and the child. Had to smile reading about "yes, maam and no, maam". I was in my teens before I discoverd that those responses were not inbred everywhere, lol. In the South we all were taught very early on to respond that way to adults. When I first met contemporaries that said it was "servile" and "old fashioned" etc...my jaw dropped. It is so automatic with me that I use those phrases when dealing with my very blue collar customers who are always younger than I. Obviously if I "know" their names that's what I use but othrwise I have customers who are fifty years younger than I who sometimes do a double take. LOL It sure beats "dear" "honey" and "sweetheart". DDD PS: Driving thru Orlando is simple if you have nerves of steel and understand that 60 equals 80 in Orlandoese. [/QUOTE]
