Tom Zimmerman

Teasing is hardwired in her DNA

My wife and I watched over Grace, age 5 and Emily, age 2 this weekend.  The grandkids call me Papa Tee, but sometimes they call me “Poppy” to tease me.  I always correct them. 
We were sitting at the breakfast table discussing an article about 50-rules of social etiquette everyone should follow.   One of them was,  "Ask Permission to Use Someone's First Name".  Yes, it’s a super-casual society, but it’s never wrong to use a title until you know what the person prefers. 
We gave the girl’s a couple examples.  Then Emily said to me, “Mr. Zimmerman, can I call you ‘Baby Poppy?"
