For some reason, I've always called my friends Miss______(insert first name) or I will do that for people I respect. When I was a Nanny in CA- the kids had to call me Miss Kristine (Kacey is my nickname) One child could not pronounce his his K's, (even though he could say his brother's name, which was Kyle) anyway, he called me Miss Fristine! Too funny. Another little munchkin that I was a nanny to called me Miss Kiwi because she couldn't say Kristine, either!

But I am practicing my southern lingo...Any ya'll want some sweet tea? LOL

Ya'll want some sweet tea sugah???? :) :) :) :)
 
My little guy's Sunday School teacher for 2 years is also a really good friend of mine - somehow in his little vocabulary, instead of calling her "Miss Vicki", he always called her "Misser Vicki"...and somehow, all of the kids in the SS class picked up on it, and now all call her Misser Vicki - as does our whole family.:DHe doesn't do that with any other "Miss" or "Mrs" names - just Vicki's.
 
my friends son has a speech issue and called his babysitter Miss Ween.....her name is Alene! We all still call her that and the little guy is now 7;)
 
Diane - how old is your son? I'm drafting an e-mail to Amy for you.

It's funny that you mention it's a NC fashion....I was born and raised in the northern panhandle of WV (just NW of Pittsburgh,PA) and when I was 18, I moved to Elizabeth City for two years and picked up on the Miss (first name) right away and it has stuck with me. :) Some of the assistants and teachers in my kids' school (public) ask that they be called Miss (first name).

It is definately more of a relaxed feeling.
