[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this only for daughters?  I have sons and their girlfriends call me Ms. Larla. I always did the same when I was dating. Nobody ever requested it, I’m Black and I think it’s just what we do in the black community for our elders. Hell, I’m 54 and I call my 75 year old neighbor Ms. Larla. A few months ago a young couple moved in the neighborhood, probably mid-20s and they call me Ms. Larla.[/quote]

Maybe it's cultural then bc I'm around your age and first name basis with everyone, my inlaws, neighbors, etc.
Or maybe you give off a vibe that you want to be Ms/Mrs Larla[/quote]

Interesting. I recently met a new neighbor. We live in a small condo building, where all people are cordial to each other. I introduced myself by first name. She introduced herself as  Miss (last name). I thought that was VERY odd.

Why would I call a neighbor I see everyday , who is a lot younger than me, “Miss”?

I am white, she is black. I would only (maybe) do that at a work setting. But even then not with someone I would be working with often.[/quote]
