[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to note that there could be a cultural difference here. My family is Creole, southern to the core. Northerners refer to these habits as part of our 'southern charm.' Every adult has an appropriate greeting because they are our elders. Up north people are more likely to say things like they want their kids to be their friends. We just don't have that mentality. A child is not a friend, they are expected to defer to you as the adult in the room. It seems mean to people who have not been raised up like we have.[/quote] Wha? I'm a northerner (from New England) and actually children calling adults "Miss Lizzie" or "Mr. Dave" seems too INFORMAL to me. Growing up, we were expected to call adults "Mr. Smith" or "Mrs. Johnson"---NEVER by their first name in any fashion![/quote]
