you must be talking to someone else.

today while a kid in my class was being dropped off, he started saying "no!" about something, because that's his favorite word.

his mom said, "what have i told you about saying no?"

and i thought that maybe we'd get rid of this delightful phase in at least one of the children, and it would rub off on the others.

and then she said, "you're supposed to say no ma'am."

yeah. politeness. that's what matters. when kids are screaming "no!" at me all day, i won't mind if they're polite about it.

not to mention how gross i feel about someone calling me ma'am. i am 24. i am not married. i have no children. there's no ma'am here.
