my friend just accidentally called our math teacher “honey” and he replied “yes dear”
okay fun story time
when I was teaching my students learned that I would answer faster if they called for “mommy.”
so conversations would go like this:
student: “Ms. T?”
student: “Ms. T?”
student: “Ms. T?”
student: “Mommy?”
me: “yes, baby, what do you need?”
it was great.
