It happened the first time someone called you "ma'am"! It sure threw me!
I have been calling ladies "Ma'am" since I was 26 years old.
A lady called me that in response to a question while we were working on her car - - and, it hit me!
Most of the problems we have in this world is because we have so little regard for anyone else.
I have ladies get really upset because I call them "ma'am" ... and, it is really strange to be teaching old women about how to train children to be polite and how old women ought to expect to be respected.
Sometimes, it seems to me, for all the "civilization" and "education" we supposedly have, we have become a more crude, rude bunch of human beings <wave>
