OK moms of daughters, in particular, but everyone else too. Is it just me or is calling little girls "Miss [first name]" really weird. Please correct me so I can be less cranky. Or agree with me so I can feel righteous. Whatevs.
Upper class people demand/feel entitled to honorifics and aspiring upper class people like to model this behavior. No one ever calls the poor kid on food stamps and free lunch "Miss SoandSo" - at least not in the trailer park I grew up in.
In my experience I've heard it in lower class areas, mostly Southern, from what I grew up around. I . . . don't have much experience with upper class habits.
