This past weekend, Justin picked up Jake from football practice. They headed over to the gas station afterwards so that he could get a drink. The conversation went someting like this:
Counter Lady : Oh, are you playing football this year
Jake: yea
Justin: Yes Maam
Jake : Yes maam
Counter lady: are you enjoying it
Jake: Yes Maam
As they leave the store:
Jake: Justin, why do you always make me say "yes maam"?
Justin: Jake, it shows that you have good manners. Girls like it when you have good manners. That is what helped me land your momma.
Jake: OOOHHH, then I definitely need to say yes maam. I want to land me one of those!
Holy Moley, the things that child says.

Gotta love that southern Maam thingie that y'all do down there.
*laughs* That is so adorable! :)
I often use the word maam to show respect. I like it. But women here say it makes them feel old. I don't mean it that way, but that's how they take it here. Strange.
