I'm must be looking older. Today I got the ol' "yes ma'am" from a sophomore in college. Not a half joking, letting-you-know-you're-being-bossy "yes ma'am" from a buddy, but a you-appear-to-be-of-a-certain-age "yes ma'am" from a new acquaintance.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for politeness and good manners, but I would really still like to believe that I'm too young for college students to think of me as a ma'am. I was just in college...sort of. Not exactly, but close enough. Okay, I'm probably ten years older than the girl who ma'amed me. I suppose that probably does make me a bit of ma'am. But please don't call me ma'am if you're old enough to vote and aren't selling me something or serving me something. Otherwise, I might have to beat you with my cane and spit my dentures at you.

Hahahaha! I am not laughing at you but with you. Lately alot of people have been calling my ma'am, generally while checking me out at a store. But I still want to yell at them "I am a baby!"
Love that you used "ma'amed as a verb. I'm going to have to adopt that! :-)
I definitely get it at the store all the time. I've accepted that the 16 year check out boys consider a woman with a toddler a ma'am. But, I'm still in denial about everyone else.
Don't feel bad Summer. I have been called ma'am for the last three years and wondered why. Come on people, no ma'am-ing those still in their twenties!
i yes ma'am my sisters when they tell me to do something. :)
I was ma'amed as a yougin' once. I even called the squirrelly kid on it at the time, I said " hey wait a minute, i'm not even thirty yet." then I did hit him :)
Ma'am...ticked me off. Now I love the $5.00 senior price of movies on tuesday's. But you've got a long, long, way for those perks to kick in ma'am. Hee, hee
