The very poignant words of a 2 and a half year old still ring clear. It's not that she mistook her mom for her dad. It's that she was concerned enough to say the respectful thing to her mom even if she got it wrong.
The current Poll on The MannersCast site is to see how much of an issue it is for our listeners as to whether or not kids are taught to say "Yes, Ma'am," "No, Ma'am," "Yes, Sir," and "No, Sir."
Weight in and we'll talk about this on a future podcast. You can also leave comments here on the blog that we can bring to the table and share with the world!

One of my friends was trying to teach her three year old daughter ma'am and sir. One day she asked her to do something that the child didn't want to do. The little girl yelled in reply to the request, "NO. MA'AM!!!!" We didn't know whether to get on to her for yelling or praise her for being polite-ish.
